Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ أُمِرَ بِلاَلٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ، الأَذَانَ، وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ. قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَذَكَرْتُ لأَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ إِلاَّ الإِقَامَةَ.
Translation
‘Ali bin ‘Abdullah narrated to us: Isma‘il bin Ibrahim narrated to us: Khalid narrated to us, from Abu Qilaba, from Anas, who said: Bilal was instructed to pronounce the phrases of the call to prayer in pairs and the phrases of the commencement in single form. Isma‘il said: I mentioned it to Ayyub, and he said, ‘Except for the words “The prayer is established.”’
