The First Adhan on Friday and Responding to It

Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you, does that include the first adhan on Friday?

Answer:
The first adhan on Friday is a recommended practice (sunnah) of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This was because the people in Madinah had increased in number, spread out, and the city had expanded at that time during the caliphate of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), while the people were busy with their work, buying and selling, and farming.
'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that an adhan should be called for Friday so that people would prepare for the Friday prayer, as they were occupied with their work. He was a Rightly Guided Caliph (may Allah be pleased with him) from among the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Just as the first adhan for Fajr is for people to wake up and prepare for the prayer, the first adhan for Friday is a recommended practice (sunnah) of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Whoever denies it is ignorant and does not know the Sunnah.
