\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar that Sahl\nibn Sad as-Saidi said, "There are two times when the gates of heaven\nare opened, and few who make supplication have it returned to them\nunanswered. They are at the timeof the adhan, and in a rank of people\nfighting in the way of Allah."\n\n\nMalik was asked whether the\nadhan on the day of jumua was called before the time had come for the\nprayer and he said, "It is not called until after the sun has passed\nthe meridian."\n\n\nMalik was asked about doubling the adhan and\nthe iqama, and at what point people had to stand when the iqama for\nthe prayer was called. He said, "I have heard nothing about the adhan\nand iqama except what I have seen people do. As for the iqama, it is\nnot doubled. That is what the people of knowledge in our region\ncontinue to do. As for people standing up when the iqama for the\nprayer is called, I have not heard of any definite point at which it\nis begun, and I consider it rather to be according to people's\n(individual) capacity, for some people are heavy and some are light,\nand they are not able to be as one man ."\n\n\nMalik was asked\nabout a gathering of people who wished to do the prescribed prayer\ncalling the iqama and not the adhan, and he said, "lt is enough for\nthem. The adhan is only obligatory in mosques where the prayer is said\nin congregation."\n\n\nMalik was asked about the muadhdhin saying\n"Peace be upon you" to the imam and calling him to the prayer, and he\nwas asked who was the first person to whom such a greeting was made.\nHe replied, "I have not heard that this greeting occurred in the first\ncommunity."\n\n\nYahya said that Malik was asked whether a\nmuadhdhin who called the people to prayer and then waited to see if\nanyone would come and no one did, so he said the iqama and did the\nprayer by himself and then people came after he had finished, should\nrepeat the prayer with them. Malik said, "He does not repeat the\nprayer, and whoever comes after he has finished should do the prayer\nby himself."\n\n\nYahya said that Malik was asked about a\nmuadhdhin who called the adhan for a group of people, did voluntary\nprayers, and then the group of people wanted to do the prayer with\nsome one else saying the iqama. He said, "There is no harm in that.\nHis iqama or somebody else's are the same."\n\n\nYahya said that\nMalik said, "The subh prayer is still called before dawn. As for the\nother prayers, we believe that they should only be called after the\ntime has started."\n\n
