Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ - عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، - يَعْنِي الْجُمَحِيَّ - عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ الْجُمَحِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَّمَهُ الأَذَانَ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَ أَذَانِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ مَالِكِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي عَنْ أَذَانِ أَبِيكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَطُّ وَكَذَلِكَ حَدِيثُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ تَرَجَّعْ فَتَرَفَّعْ صَوْتَكَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Dawud al-Iskandarani narrated to us: Ziyad—meaning Ibn Yunus—narrated to us, from Nafiʿ ibn ʿUmar—meaning al-Jumahi—from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abi Mahdhurah, who informed him, from ʿAbd Allah ibn Muhayriz al-Jumahi, from Abu Mahdhurah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him the call to prayer, saying: ‘Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest; I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.’ Then he mentioned the call as in the report of Ibn Jurayj from ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, with the same meaning. Abu Dawud said: In Malik ibn Dinar’s report, he said: ‘I asked Ibn Abi Mahdhurah, “Tell me your father’s call to prayer from the Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest”—and no more.’ The report of Jaʿfar ibn Sulayman from Ibn Abi Mahdhurah, from his uncle, from his grandfather, is similar, except that it says: ‘Then repeat and raise your voice: Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest.’
