1618. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Prophet ﷺ would not attack except near the time of Fajr, so if he heard the Adhān he would refrain, and if not, then he would attack. So he listened one day and heard a man saying: “Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar,” so he said: “Upon the Fitrah.” Then he said: “I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh.” So he said: “You have departed from the Fire.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
The purpose of lawful fighting is to make Allāh’s Word uppermost in the land. Hearing the Call for Prayer from the village or town is a sign that Muslims reside there, so it should not be attacked.
In the Name of Allāh,the Merciful, the Beneficent
