Q: A question from: S. M. from Riyadh, which says: Was there any exhortation from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the first adhan for Fajr, and what is the difference between it and the second adhan?
A: The first adhan is recommended; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 637Sahih (Darussalam) The narrator said: Sahih al-Bukhari 617, and this indicates that he (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of Bilal’s action, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the wisdom behind it by saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in one of the narrations: Sunan an-Nasa'i 641Sahih (Darussalam) the hadith. There is no specific limit set for this.
And it is better for the first adhan to be close to the last adhan; based on the narrator’s statement in some of the narrations:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3:72, and the meaning is: that there is only a short time between them.
A: The first adhan is recommended; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Bilal calls the Adhan during the night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls (the Adhan)
إن بلالًا يؤذن بليل فكلوا واشربوا حتى ينادي ابن أم مكتومHe was a blind man who would not pronounce the Adhan unless he was told that the day had dawned.
وكان رجلًا أعمى لا ينادي حتى يقال له: أصبحت أصبحتBilal calls the Adhan during the night to wake those who are sleeping and so that those who are praying Qiyam can return.
إن بلالًا يؤذن بليل ليوقظ نائمكم ويرجع قائمكمAnd it is better for the first adhan to be close to the last adhan; based on the narrator’s statement in some of the narrations:
And there is nothing between them except that this one ascends and this one descends
وليس بينهما إلا أن يصعد هذا وينزل هذا
