What is the correct manner of the adhan?

Question:
The first message in this episode is from a listener named Abdullah Hassan al-Tahir, a Sudanese man working in al-Kharj. Brother Abdullah is asking about the correct manner of the adhan, as he has heard that there are multiple methods and has read about them as well. He seeks guidance from the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him). May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the adhan is of different types. The best of them is what Bilal used to perform in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until Allah took him to Himself. This is the adhan known today among people, consisting of fifteen phrases: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah; Hayya 'ala al-salah, Hayya 'ala al-salah; Hayya 'ala al-falah, Hayya 'ala al-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illa Allah. This is the adhan with which Bilal called in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
It is also established in the two Sahihs from the hadith of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The adhan is paired: meaning two by two. This is the pairing of the adhan, except for the first takbir, which is four, as it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he taught Bilal this after he saw the well-known good dream of Abdullah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) . However, in the adhan for Fajr, two phrases are added: al-salah khayrun min al-nawm, al-salah khayrun min al-nawm. Thus, the adhan for Fajr consists of seventeen phrases. The adhan at the appearance of Fajr includes: al-salah khayrun min al-nawm, al-salah khayrun min al-nawm, after the "Hayya" phrases, and then he says: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illa Allah. It is better for this to be in the last adhan, which is called the first adhan in relation to the iqamah. As for the first adhan, which is at the end of the night, it does not include "al-salah khayrun min al-nawm" according to the stronger position. It is better for it to be in the last one, and this last one is called the first adhan in relation to the iqamah, because the iqamah is the second adhan, and the adhan after the appearance of Fajr is the first adhan, which is the one mentioned in the hadiths as containing: al-salah khayrun min al-nawm, al-salah khayrun min al-nawm, as in the hadith of Bilal and the hadith of Abu Mahdhura. Some people have thought that its being called "the first" refers to the adhan at the end of the night, but that is not the case. It is called "the first" because it comes before the iqamah, and the iqamah is the second adhan, as in the authentic hadith where he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The two adhans, meaning: the adhan and the iqamah.
In the hadith of Abu Mahdhura, another type is mentioned, which is repeating the testimony... the two testimonies again, making it nineteen phrases. He recites the two testimonies and then repeats them in a lower voice: Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah. Then he repeats them in a louder voice so that the phrases number nineteen. This is correct and there is no harm in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught Abu Mahdhura this, and he called the adhan with it in Makkah, so there is no harm in that. However, the best is what is practiced today, which is what Bilal used to call in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Likewise, the iqamah is singular, as in the aforementioned hadith of Anas: He makes it odd, meaning: he makes the iqamah singular, except for the takbir, which is paired in it, as in the hadith of Abdullah ibn Zayd and the hadith of Bilal. He says at the beginning of the iqamah: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, and at the end: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. The rest are singular: Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah, Hayya 'ala al-salah, Hayya 'ala al-falah; these are singular. And the iqamah repeats: Qad qamat al-salah, Qad qamat al-salah. He pairs it in the iqamah, like the takbir at the beginning and the end, where the takbir is twice at the beginning and twice at the end, likewise. And so is his saying: Qad qamat al-salah, Qad qamat al-salah; he says it twice. As for the two testimonies and the "Hayya" phrases, they are said once each. In the hadith of Abu Mahdhura, the repetition of the two testimonies twice, like in the adhan, is mentioned, and there is no harm in that; it is only a matter of preference. This is called "variation in diversity." However, the best is, as mentioned earlier, what is in the hadith of Bilal. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
