205. Mālik bin Al-Huwaith said: "A cousin of mine and I arrived as guests of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. He said to us: 'When you travel then call the Adhān and Iqāmah and let the eldest of you lead the prayer.'"(Sahīh) Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Hasan Sahīh. Most of the people of knowledge act according to it: They prefer the Adhān while traveling. Some of them said that the Iqāmah is acceptable, the Adhān is only for the one who wants to gather the people. The first view is more correct, and it is the opinion of Aḥmad and Iṣhāq.

٢٠٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ ‌خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ ‌مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ، قَالَ: «قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي، فَقَالَ لَنَا: إِذَا سَافَرْتُمَا فَأَذِّنَا وَأَقِيمَا، وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ اخْتَارُوا الْأَذَانَ فِي السَّفَرِ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: تُجْزِئُ الْإِقَامَةُ، إِنَّمَا الْأَذَانُ عَلَى مَنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ النَّاسَ. وَالْقَوْلُ الْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ.

Commentary

Though other people are not expected to join the congregation, yet on a journey both the Adhān and Iqāmah are Sunnah;
