—in the very way ʿAbd Allāh b. Muhayrīz had related it to me. Abū Dāwūd likewise recorded the report (82–83) in an abbreviated form that focuses only on the Prophet’s dictation of the adhān.

All the authorities quote it with the takbīr repeated four times at the beginning, except al-Ṭaḥāwī and Aḥmad, who record only two takbīrs.

Nāfiʿ b. ʿUmar al-Jumaḥī also transmits it from ʿAbd al-Malik b. Abī Maḥdhūrah, who relates from ʿAbd Allāh b. Muhayrīz al-Jumaḥī, from Abū Maḥdhūrah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught him the adhān, saying, “Allah is most great, Allah is most great; I bear witness that there is no god but Allah …,” and then mentioning an adhān identical in wording and sense to that narrated by Ibn Jurayj from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbd al-Malik. Abū Dāwūd records this version as well (83).

Both ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbd al-Malik and his father are classed as “acceptable” (maqbūl) in al-Taqrīb, so the chain is sound (ḥasan); it appears that each of them learned it directly from Ibn Muhayrīz.

Al-Dāraquṭnī (89) also reports the narration through the route of al-Shāfiʿī. He says: “I encountered Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbd al-Malik b. Abī Maḥdhūrah giving the adhān exactly as Ibn Muhayrīz had described, and I heard him relate from his father, from Ibn Muhayrīz, from Abū Maḥdhūrah, from the Prophet ﷺ, in the same sense as the account of Ibn Jurayj. I also heard him pronounce the iqāmah as follows: ‘Allah is most great, Allah is most great; I bear witness that there is no god but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to success; The prayer has been established, the prayer has been established; Allah is most great, Allah is most great; there is no god but Allah.’”

Ibn Jurayj furnishes yet another chain for this report from Abū Maḥdhūrah, who said: “ʿUthmān b. al-Sāʾib taught it to me.”
