The mu'adhdhin realizes the time has passed during the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.

The presenter:
How are you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you.

The questioner:
Shaykh, I have two questions. The first question is about a mu'adhdhin who called the adhan, and when he reached the phrase "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah," he looked at the time and found that it was half an hour early. So, what is obligatory for him? Does he cut off the adhan or continue? The second question.

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for him to cut off the adhan because the time has not yet arrived, so he should not complete it, as he would thereby mislead the people.

The presenter:
Yes,
