The Tathwib in the Adhan for Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is the tathwib in the adhan for the Fajr prayer in the first or the second?The Shaykh: The tathwib! The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: I mean: Do you mean in the iqamah or in the adhan?The questioner: In the adhan.
The Shaykh: There is no first and no second.
The questioner: The one before it, O Shaykh? The Shaykh: The one before Fajr?The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: This is not the adhan for Fajr.For Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Indeed, Bilal gives the adhan at night to wake up your sleepers and return your standers) He did not say he gives the adhan at night to inform you of Fajr, and the adhan for prayer does not occur except after the time has entered.By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (When the prayer is established, let one of you give the adhan for you) So the first adhan, which is called the first, is in reality not for Fajr, but for those who wish to stand in the night.And the tathwib, which is saying: "Prayer is better than sleep" is only prescribed in the adhan for Fajr, which is the adhan after the appearance of Fajr.And what came in the hadith: (When you give the first adhan for the Fajr prayer) what is meant by this is: the adhan after the appearance of Fajr, but it is called the first relative to the iqamah; because the iqamah is called an adhan, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Between every two adhans is a prayer) , and also as came in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar -I think- that he was asked about the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after Fajr, so he said: (He used to pray two rak'ahs after the adhan of Fajr, as if the adhan was between his ears) The scholars said that what is meant by the adhan here is: the iqamah.Meaning: As if he is establishing it in the sense that he hastens in the sunnah of Fajr; because the sunnah in the Fajr prayer is to lighten it.So the important thing, my brother! The tathwib, which is saying: "Prayer is better than sleep" only occurs in the adhan after the appearance of Fajr.
The questioner: And what is done in the Haram! O Shaykh?The Shaykh: The Haram! What is done with it?The questioner: There are two adhans, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Where is it?The questioner: In the Haram.
The Shaykh: For Fajr?The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: There are not two adhans for Fajr.
The questioner: An adhan is given before the time.
The Shaykh: This is not for Fajr, but for returning the one who is standing and waking the one who is sleeping. And it also exists outside the Haram, even here in Unaizah, one of them gives the adhan an hour before Fajr and the other half an hour, depending on the people. The important thing is that what is before the entry of the time is not an adhan for prayer; take this as a rule.
The Shaykh: I mean: Do you mean in the iqamah or in the adhan?The questioner: In the adhan.
