664. ‘Abdullâh bin Mas’ûd said: “We were fighting a battle and the idolators kept us from praying Zuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib and Ishâ’. When the idolators went away, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commanded a caller to say Iqâmah for Zuhr prayer, and we prayed. Then he said the Iqâmah for ‘Asr, and we prayed, and he said the Iqâmah for Maghrib and we prayed, and he said the Iqâmah for Ishâ’ and we prayed. Then he went around among us and said: ‘There is no group on Earth who is remembering Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, except you.’”’ (Da’if)

Commentary
It has preceded that since an untimely call of the Adhân is likely to create
confusion, it is necessary to take into consideration the situation one is in! For instance, if the time of a particular prayer has begun, the Adhân should be called out and the missed prayer be made up and the current prayer be performed, as has come in Hadîth 663. If the time for a particular prayer has elapsed, or its time is about to end, the missed prayer should be offered. The Adhân should be pronounced for the current prayer only, as has occurred in Hadîth 662. And if all the prayers are elapsed prayers and it is not the time of any prayer, then only the Iqâmah should be said for all these prayers, as has been stated in Hadîth 664.
