436. (There is another chain for no. 435) from Abān, from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri, from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, from Abū Hurairah, in this narration, he said: "...So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Move to another location from this place of yours where obliviousness overtook you.' He then ordered Bilāl to say the Adhān and Iqāmah, and then prayed." (Sahīh) Abū Dāwūd said: It was reported by Mālik, Sufyān bin 'Uyaynah, Al- Awzā'ī, and 'Abdur-Razzāq from Ma'mar, and (also) Ibn Ishāq, and none of them mentioned the Adhān in this Ḥadīth of Az-Zuhri, and no one narrated it with a connected chain except for Al-Awzā'ī, and Abān Al-'Aṭṭār from Ma'mar.

436 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَحَوَّلُوا عَنْ مَكَانِكُمُ الَّذِي أَصَابَتْكُمْ فِيهِ الْغَفْلَةُ»، قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ وَصَلَّى، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ، وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَالْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَر، ٍ وَابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمُ الْأَذَانَ فِي، حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ هَذَا، وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، وَأَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ

Commentary

This narration makes it clear that the Adhān was called as well as the Iqāmah. Al-Khaṭṭābī said: "This Ḥadīth was reported by Hishām, from Al-Ḥasan, from 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain, and he mentioned the Adhān in it. And it was reported by Abū Qatādah Al-Anṣārī from the Prophet ﷺ, and he mentioned the Adhān and the Iqāmah, and the additions (in narrations) when correct, are acceptable, and acting upon them is Wajib." (Ma'ālam As-Sunan) Additionally, this narration contains: "Move to another location from this place of yours where obliviousness overtook you," meaning "heedlessness," explaining the cause for moving from that location.
