500. Muḥammad bin 'Abdul-Mālik bin Abī Maḥdhūrah narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that he said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Teach me the Sunnah (practice) of the Adhān.' So the Prophet ﷺ wiped my forehead and said: 'Say: "Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu Akbaru, Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu akbaru" (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great. And raise your voice while (saying) them. Then say: "Ashhadu anlā ilāha illallāh, Ashhadu anlā ilāha illallāh. Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan rasūlullāh, Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan rasūlullāh." (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allāh, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allāh). (All of this) say silently, with a low voice. Then raise your voice with the testimony (of faith): “Ashhadu anlā ilāha illallāh, Ashhadu anlā ilāha illallāh. Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūlullāh, Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūlullāh. Hayya ‘alas-ṣalāt, Hayya ‘alas-ṣalāt. Hayya ‘alāl-falāh, Hayya ‘alāl-falāh.” (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but 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). And if it is the morning prayer (for which you are calling the Adhān), you should say: “Aṣ-Ṣalātu khairun minan-nawm, Aṣ-Ṣalātu khairun minan-nawm. Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu Akbaru, lā ilāha illallāh.” (Prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep, Allāh is the Most Great Allāh is the Most Great; none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh.)” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
