538 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْقَتَّاتُ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَثَوَّبَ رَجُلٌ فِي الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ، قَالَ: «اخْرُجْ بِنَا فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ بِدْعَةٌ»

Commentary
Tathwīb is considered by most scholars to refer to the phrase which is uttered twice during the Adhān, or first Adhān, of Fajr; "As-Salātu khairun-min-an-nawm" (prayer is better than sleep). In this narration, Tathwīb refers to adding other phrases or words in the Adhān. By the time of this event, Ibn 'Umar had gone blind, that is why he asked his guide to take him away. In this chapter, and the chapter about leaving the Masjid after the Adhān are two strong and firm statements from Companions regarding the Adhān according to the Sunnah. In the earlier chapter, Abū Hurairah stated about the one who left the Masjid after the Adhān — meaning an Adhān according to the Sunnah — then he is disobedient, and in this chapter Ibn 'Umar left the Masjid after the Adhān, and it is an Adhān that was contrary to the Sunnah.
