The Shaykh : This means ...Sahih Muslim 49a And this hadith is a general principle that covers every evil a person sees, so he must change it. The first level is with his hand, if the evil cannot be changed except by hand. The second level is with his tongue, and this is what is reported regarding the man who prayed poorly. The last level, which no Muslim can neglect no matter who he is ... is the rebuke of the heart. The hadith of the man who prayed poorly is an application of a part of the generality of this hadith Sunan an-Nasa'i 5008Sahih (Darussalam) And it came in Sahih al-Bukhari from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "A man entered the mosque and prayed. When he finished, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.'" He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6251 The man returned and repeated the prayer, then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6251 And so three times, he repeated the prayer each time. The third time, he came to the Messenger (peace be upon him) and said, 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2692Sahih (Darussalam) He said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, the man finally understood that his prayer, as they say in our place in Damascus ... means it is not valid. He said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I do not know how to do it better than this, so teach me.' He said (peace and blessings be upon him): . This hadith is known among the scholars of hadith as the hadith of the man who prayed poorly, because he prayed in front of the Messenger the prayer that was his habit. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ... alerted him that this prayer was not a complete prayer, so he ordered him to perform wudu as Allah commanded him, then he ordered him to face the qiblah, then he ordered him to give the adhan. This is a side of the majority of the praying people that they are ignorant of, and those who are aware of it, and they are the fewest, are few in number who implement it practically. Then he gave the adhan, meaning the one who prays alone, when he stands to pray the obligatory prayer, must give the adhan and not say 'give the adhan in the mosque' because this adhan is for the mosque. And so the sunnah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established, and then the entire Ummah followed in all cities and regions, and in all the centuries that have passed, every mosque has its mu'adhdhin, and consequently its adhan. So the adhan of one mosque does not suffice for the adhan of another mosque, as is the custom in some Arab countries called the unification of the adhan. This is contrary to the sunnah. Therefore, and praise be to Allah, all Islamic countries still maintain the adhan in every mosque, because the practical sunnah that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) established, and the Salaf followed, and then the Khalaf after them, is that every mosque gives the adhan. Add to this what came earlier in the hadith of the man who prayed poorly, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to this one who prayed and performed his prayer poorly, and his prayer was in the Prophet's Mosque ... this mosque had already given the adhan, and yet he said to him, 'When you stand to pray, perform wudu as Allah commanded you, then face the qiblah, then give the adhan, and you are alone, then give the iqamah.' So it is necessary to pay attention to this sunnah that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught this man who performed his prayer poorly, which is that the one who prays alone, let alone the congregation, should give the adhan, and that he should give the iqamah for the prayer. And there came in some hadiths great virtues for the one who gives the iqamah for the prayer, even if he prays alone, even in the open desert, in the wilderness ... .
