Sunan Abi Dawud 510 (Book 2, Hadith 120) #20801
Adhan and Iqamah During the Time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith explains the procedure of adhan and iqamah during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how people would respond to it.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The words of adhan were pronounced from the time of the Messenger of Allah twice in pairs (ie four times) each, and the words of iqamah were pronounced once in pairs (twice each), except that the phrase "The time for prayer has come" would be pronounced twice. When we heard iqamah, we would perform ablution, and go out for prayer. Shu'bah said: I did not hear AbuJa'far narrating any other tradition except this one.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ الأَذَانُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَالإِقَامَةُ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَإِذَا سَمِعْنَا الإِقَامَةَ تَوَضَّأْنَا ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respond quickly when you hear the call for prayer so you can pray on time with others in congregation .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about adhan and iqamah, which are two important parts of Islamic prayer. Adhan is a call to prayer that is made five times a day, while iqamah is a similar call that signals that it's time for people to line up for prayer. According to this hadith, during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), adhan was pronounced twice in pairs each, while iqamah was pronounced once in pairs each. When people heard iqamah they would perform ablution and go out for prayer. This shows us how important it was for Muslims at that time to respond quickly when they heard the call for prayer so they could pray on time with others in congregation. It also teaches us about the importance of punctuality when responding to religious obligations such as salat or namaz.
