وَعَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: كَانَ النِّدَاءُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوَّلُهُ إِذَا جَلَسَ الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ وَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ زَادَ النِّدَاءَ الثَّالِثَ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاء. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Al-Sa’ib ibn Yazid said: In the time of the Messenger of God, Abu Bakr, and Umar, the first call on Friday was made when the imam sat on the pulpit. When Uthman came to power and the people had grown numerous, he added a third call at al-Zawra. Al-Bukhari transmitted it.

زَادَ النِّدَاءَ الثَّالِثَ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاء
The numbering of the calls may refer to the adhan and the call to begin the prayer, and counting conventions can vary.
Should third call be retained as the source wording or explained by its historical numbering?
