6 - Chapter: Making the Iqamah Single (Without Repetition)

729 - 'Abdullah ibn al-Jarrah narrated to us, al-Mu'tamir ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Khalid al-Hadhdha', from Abu Qilabah--------------------------------------------

= Al-Bukhari mentioned it in his "Al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 8/306: from Yahya ibn al-Mutawakkil — who is al-Bahili al-Basri, and he is truthful — from Ibn Jurayj, from one who narrated to him from Nafi'. Then he mentioned the narration of Abu Salih, and said: "The first is more likely correct."

We say: However, the hadith has another good chain that will come in the takhrij.

Al-Tabarani also narrated it in "Al-Awsat" (8733), Ibn 'Adi in the biography of Abu Salih in "Al-Kamil" 4/1523, al-Hakim 1/204-205, al-Bayhaqi in his "Sunan" 1/433 and in "Al-Shu'ab" (3059), al-Baghawi in "Sharh al-Sunnah" (418), and Ibn al-Jawzi in "Al-'Ilal al-Mutanahiyah" (668) via the chain of Abu Salih 'Abdullah ibn Salih, with this isnad.

With the wording: "For his adhan, sixty good deeds are recorded for him each time, and for his iqamah, thirty good deeds." Al-Bayhaqi then quoted the aforementioned statement of al-Bukhari.

Al-Hakim also narrated it 1/205 — and following him al-Bayhaqi in "Al-Sunan" 1/433 and in "Al-Shu'ab" (3057) — from Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Hani', from Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Mihran, from Abu al-Tahir and Abu al-Rabi', from 'Abdullah ibn Wahb, from Ibn Lahi'ah, from 'Ubaydullah ibn Abi Ja'far, from Nafi', with it.

We say: Ibn Lahi'ah — even though he had a poor memory — Ibn Wahb's narration from him is acceptable. However, in the chain to him there is Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Hani', the shaykh of al-Hakim, who narrated from him extensively, and he was also from Nishapur with the kunyah Abu Ja'far. Ibn al-Jawzi gave his biography in "Al-Muntazam" under the deaths of the year 340 and said of him: "He heard much hadith, had understanding and memory, and was among the trustworthy." Accordingly, the hadith is good (hasan), and Allah Almighty knows best.

Ibn al-Jawzi also narrated it (667) via the chain of Muhammad ibn al-Fadl, from Muqatil ibn Hayyan and Hamzah al-Nasibi, from Makhul and Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, raised to the Prophet, with the wording: "Whoever gives the adhan for seven years seeking reward, a declaration of freedom from the Fire is written for him." We say: In its chain there is Muhammad ibn al-Fadl ibn 'Atiyyah, who is accused of lying, and Hamzah al-Nasibi is likewise.
