Ashhadu anlā ilāha illallāh, Ashhadu anlā 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 that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh...) then he mentioned the Adhān similar to the narration of Ibn Jurāij from ‘Abdul-‘Azīz bin ‘Abdul-Mālik in its meaning.[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: In the narration of Mālik bin Dīnār, he said: “I asked Ibn Abī Maḥdhūrah: ‘Narrate to me the Adhān of your father (that he learnt) from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.’” So he narrated it to him, and in it he said: “Allāhu Akbaru, Allāhu Akbar” (Allāh is the Most Great Allāh is the Most Great) only. And similar was reported in the narration of Ja’far bin Sulaimān, from Ibn Abū Maḥdhūrah, from his paternal uncle, from his grandfather, except that he said in it: “Then return (to what you said), and raise your voice: ‘Allāhu akbaru, Allāhu Akbar...’ (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great.” (Da’f)
