Are the four takbirs of the adhan individual, or are each two joined together?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught ... as the narrator mentions, four takbirs: the hadith is "Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest" ...
The Shaykh : Where is this?
The questioner : This is in Ibn Khuzaymah, in the hadith of Abu Mahdhurah when he was taught the adhan ...
The Shaykh : The adhan is good.
The questioner : Its apparent meaning is that the takbirs are individual. In Muslim, it is stated that he taught him the takbir: "Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest" only, with no increase in number. So the apparent meaning here is that he mentions them with a single voice ... This is my basis. May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Is there anything else?
The questioner : There is nothing wrong with it.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. Regarding the narration of Ibn Khuzaymah, does it have a clear indication of distinctness (juzm) and of not joining the first takbir to the next?
The questioner : It states that he mentioned only the four takbirs. That is what I understood from it.
The Shaykh : No, that is not an answer to the question. The hadith of Muslim that you mentioned is clear in its indication of joining the first takbir to the one following it. But is there an explicit statement in the hadith of Abu Mahdhurah that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Say:Sunan Abi Dawud 5112Sahih (Al-Albani)"? That is, did the narrators focus on transmitting the hadith of Abu Mahdhurah differently from how they focused on transmitting the hadith of Mu'awiyah, which I think is the one in Sahih Muslim? Did the narrators focus on transmitting the hadith of Abu Mahdhurah in this way: Sunan Abi Dawud 5112Sahih (Al-Albani)? Or is it as you said in your first answer, which is the apparent meaning? As for whether it was precisely recorded this way, or whether the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Say: Allah is the Greatest, Say: Allah is the Greatest," that is the point of the question now. Or in other words, does the teaching mentioned in the hadith of Abu Mahdhurah contradict the hadith of Muslim, which explicitly states joining the second takbir to the first? — And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : There is no contradiction between them, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : With insistence on distinctness (juzm), or based on interpreting the narration of distinctness as movement (tahreek)?
The questioner : Both narrations, both characteristics: distinctness (juzm) and movement (tahreek)!
The Shaykh : This goes back to the first party.
The questioner : Can it be inferred, O Shaykh, from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 385, and he mentioned it four times, can it be inferred that they are individual, the individuality of the takbir?
The Shaykh : If the hadith was recorded in this way, it is taken from it. But the hadith ... In any case, we also put this under the microscope and research.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh : Where is this?
The questioner : This is in Ibn Khuzaymah, in the hadith of Abu Mahdhurah when he was taught the adhan ...
The Shaykh : The adhan is good.

الله أكبر الله أكبرAllah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great
الله أكبر الله أكبرThe questioner : There is no contradiction between them, O Shaykh.

The questioner : Can it be inferred, O Shaykh, from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
'Umar b. al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When the Mu'adhdhin says: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and one of you should make this response: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; (and when the Mu'adhdhin) says: I testify that there is no god but Allah, one should respond: I testify that there is no god but Allah, and when he says: I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, one should make a response: I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger. When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to prayer, one should make a response: There is no might and no power except with Allah. When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to salvation, one should respond: There is no might and no power except with Allah, and when he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, then make a response: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: There is no god but Allah, and he who makes a re- sponse from the heart: There is no god but Allah, he will enter Paradise.
إذا قال المؤذن: الله أكبر فقال أحدكم: الله أكبر ...The Shaykh : If the hadith was recorded in this way, it is taken from it. But the hadith ... In any case, we also put this under the microscope and research.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
