Sunan Abi Dawud 1087 (Book 2, Hadith 698) #21379
History of Call to Friday Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith explains the history of how the call to Friday prayer was made during the time of Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar, and how it changed during Uthman's time.

Al-Sa'ib b. Yazid said: During the time of the Prophet and Abu Bakr and 'Umar the call to the Friday prayer was first made at the time when the imam was seated on the pulpit (for giving the sermon). When the time of 'Uthman came, and the people became abundant, 'Uthman ordered to make a third call to the Friday prayer. It was made on al-Zaura' (a house in Medina). The rule of action continued to the same effect.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ الأَذَانَ، كَانَ أَوَّلُهُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ الإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ - رضى الله عنهما - فَلَمَّا كَانَ خِلاَفَةُ عُثْمَانَ وَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِالأَذَانِ الثَّالِثِ فَأُذِّنَ بِهِ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاءِ فَثَبَتَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

Follow rules set by leaders as long as they are not against Islamic teachings

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains how the call to prayer for Fridays was done in different times. During the time of Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar, it was done when the Imam was seated on a pulpit or minbar. However, when 'Uthman came into power and people became abundant in Medina, he ordered a third call to be made at al-Zaura'. This rule continued until today. This hadith teaches us that we should follow rules set by our leaders as long as they are not against Islamic teachings. It also teaches us that we should respect our leaders even if we do not agree with them because they have been chosen by Allah for a purpose.
