501. (There is another chain) from 'Uthmān bin As-Sā'ib who said: "My father and the mother of 'Abdul-Mālik bin Abī Maḥdhūrah informed me, from Abū Maḥdhūrah, from the Prophet ﷺ," with similar to this narration, and in it: "(Say): 'Aṣ-Ṣalātu khairun minan-nawm, Aṣ-Ṣalātu khairun minan-nawm.' Prayer is better than sleep; prayer is better than sleep, in the first (Adhān) of the morning prayer." (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: The (previous) narration of Musad-dad is more detailed, for he said in it: "...and he taught me the Iqāmah, (that I should say each of the phrases) twice: 'Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu Akbaru, Ashhadu anlā ilāha illallāh, Ashhadu anlā ilāha illallāh, Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūlullāh, Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūlullāh. Hayya 'alaṣ-ṣalāt, Hayya 'alaṣ-ṣalāt. Hayya 'alal-falāh, Hayya 'alal-falāh. Qad qāmatiṣ-ṣalāt, Qad qāmatiṣ-ṣalāt. Allāhu akbaru Allāhu akbaru, lā ilāha illallāh.'" (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, I bear witness the none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh; I bear witness that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh, I bear witness that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh; come to the prayer, come to the prayer; come to the prosperity; Come to the prosperity; The prayer is about to begin, the prayer is about to begin; Allāh is the Most Great; none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh). (Ḥasan) Abū Dāwūd said: ‘Abdur-Razzāq said:[1] “And when you say the Iqāmah for the prayer, then say twice in it: ‘Qad qāmatīš-šalāt, Qad qāmatīš-šalāt.’ (The prayer is about to begin, the prayer is about to begin) — Have you heard (what I have said)?” And he (As-Sā’ib) said: “Abū Maḥdhūrāh would not cut the hair of his forehead, nor would he part it, since the Prophet ﷺ wiped over it.”
