1466. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ commanded a caller to call out that prayer was about to begin in congregation. So they gathered and formed rows, and he led them in prayer, bowing four times in two Rak'ahs and prostrating four times." (Šaĥīh)
1465 - أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: " خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي: أَنِ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً، فَاجْتَمَعُوا وَاصْطَفُّوا، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ "

Before the institution or legislation of the call to prayer, people were summoned for prayer with these very words: As-Salātu Jāmi'a (the ritual prayer is being convened!) Now, if the summon is to be made for any optional prayer, the announcement could be made in these words. The Adhan is specific to the obligatory prayers only.
