The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his household and all his Companions. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Muhammad, who is Ibn Salam, narrated to us, saying: Abd al-Wahhab informed us, saying: Khalid al-Hadha informed us from Abu Qilabah from Anas ibn Malik, who said: When the people increased, they suggested that they should indicate the time of prayer with something recognizable. They suggested lighting a fire or striking a bell. So [the Prophet] ordered Bilal to make the adhan even-numbered and the iqamah odd-numbered.
The Shaykh : The meaning of this phrase, following what came before, is that Bilal was ordered to call the adhan, making the adhan even-numbered and the iqamah odd-numbered. The issue is whether it should be even or odd. The issue is whether the call to prayer should be made or whether signs should be established. Yes.
