Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh. We said, what are the meanings of tarji' and tathwib? The tarbiyah in the prayer, in the adhan, and the tathwib in the adhan.
The Shaykh:
Tathwib is "the prayer has begun, the prayer has begun," and tarji' is repeating the two testimonies, meaning he says them in a low voice and then raises his voice with them, as in the hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, and he raised his voice.
The questioner:
Your Eminence, Shaykh, may Allah preserve the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It is called tarji' because he returned to them; he said them and then returned to them; his speech returned. Yes.
The questioner:
This is the tarji'. Yes.
