English translation

1087. It was reported from Yūnus, from Ibn Shihāb, that As-Sā'ib bin Yazīd informed him: "During the time of the Prophet ﷺ, Abū Bakr, and 'Umar, the Adhān used to be called when the Imām sat on the Minbar on Friday. During the Khilāfah of 'Uthmān, the people increased, so 'Uthmān ordered a third Adhān, and it used to be called at Az-Zawrā'. So this became the custom." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1087 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، «أَنَّ الْأَذَانَ كَانَ أَوَّلُهُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ خِلَافَةُ عُثْمَانَ، وَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِالْأَذَانِ الثَّالِثِ، فَأُذِّنَ بِهِ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاءِ، فَثَبَتَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ»،

Commentary

"Third Adhān" a number of scholars consider that to mean a "third call" counting the Adhān and Iqāmah as two, so the meaning would be that he instituted a second Adhān.
