What is the ruling on people saying "the rooster's adhan"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : I hear words that I do not know if they have a basis in the Shari'ah or not, such as the saying about the crowing of the rooster, where they call it "the rooster's adhan." Does this term have a basis?

Answer : By Allah, based on the fact that it announces the time of prayer. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand up and pray the night prayer when he heard the voice of the caller or when the crowing occurred. So this is an announcement, and the roosters crowing at the entry of the time is an announcement for every time, the five times.
