٦٣٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَكْحُولٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْأَذَانُ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ كَلِمَةً، وَالْإِقَامَةُ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ كَلِمَةً ثُمَّ عَدَّهَا أَبُو مَحْذُورَةَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ كَلِمَةً، وَسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ».

Commentary
Bilal ﷺ pronounced the Adhân before the break of dawn. This Adhân used to be for the dawn prayer but was pronounced before its time, so that people could become free of their individual needs (relieving oneself, taking a bath, etc.) till the second Adhân is called. This gave them time to reach the mosque after the second Adhân, which resulted in the prayer being performed in its first moments.
