The First and Second Adhan on Friday in the Era of the Prophet

Question:
Shaykh, this person is asking: On Friday, there is the first adhan and the second adhan. Was that the case in the era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
What was practiced in the era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the adhan when the imam sat on the minbar. As for the first adhan, that was in the era of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, the Rightly Guided Caliph (may Allah be pleased with him), when the people in Madinah increased and dispersed to the farms and markets, and they began to be late for the Friday prayer due to their preoccupation. So 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered the first adhan so that people would be alerted to the nearness of the Friday prayer and prepare for it. This is from the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Adhere to after me." Yes.
