1393. As-Sā'ib bin Yazīd narrated that the first Adhân used to be when the Imâm sat on the Minbar on Friday, at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and Abû Bakr and 'Umar. During the caliphate of 'Uthmân, when the number of people increased, 'Uthmân commanded that a third Adhân be given on Friday, so that Adhân was given from the top of Az-Zawra',[1] and that is how it remained. (Sahîh)
1392 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، «أَنَّ الْأَذَانَ كَانَ أَوَّلُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ»، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُثْمَانَ، وَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِالْأَذَانِ الثَّالِثِ، فَأُذِّنَ بِهِ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاءِ، فَثَبَتَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

In this narration, the first Adhan denotes that Adhan which is pronounced before the commencement of the Khutbah or the sermon. The third Adhan means that Adhan which is pronounced a little before the Adhan of the sermon, so that people could prepare themselves. Nowadays, it is called the first Adhan. In this report, the Iqâmah (call to commence prayer) has also been referred to as Adhan; that is why the Adhan of the sermon has been termed as the first Adhan. That is to say that the Iqâmah was the second Adhan.
