Hadith 4.2

Prayer

ENGLISH

Jabir stated that God’s Messenger said to Bilal, “When you call the <i>adhan</i> speak deliberately, when you utter the <i>iqama</i> speak quickly, and leave between your <i>adhan</i> and your <i>iqama</i> time for one who eats to finish his food and one who drinks to finish his drink, and one who needs to relieve himself to do so. And do not get up to pray* till you see me do so.” * This sentence is addressed not only to Bilal, as the plural is used. Tirmidhi transmitted it and said, “I know it only from the tradition of ‘Abd al-Mun‘im, and it is an unknown <i>isnad</i>”
