| | Chapter 06: Adhan And Iqamah (Hadith -- The Traditions) |
 | | In the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, (sentences of) the adhan used to be repeated twice, and (those of) the iqamah (were uttered) only once, with this exception that he used to say, Prayer is ready, Prayer is ready. |
 | | As compared with the adhan, the sentences were uttered only once in the iqamah, according to this hadith, the significance being that sentences that were uttered twice in the adhan were uttered once in the iqamah. |
 | | When the adhan is being delivered, the hearer should repeat its sentences and when it is finished, he should offer the prayer mentioned in the next hadith. |
