and al-Ṭabarānī also brought it in al-Awsat through the route of Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib, from Abū Hurayrah—may Allah be pleased with him—explicitly tracing it back to the Prophet ﷺ and giving the specific ruling. His wording is:

I add: al-Munḏirī says in al-Targhīb: “Al-Ṭabarānī reported it in al-Awsat, and its transmitters are relied upon in the two Ṣaḥīḥs.” Al-Haythamī states the same in al-Majmaʿ.

“Whoever is caught by the adhān while in the mosque, then goes out—not for a need and with no intention of returning—is a hypocrite.”

Ibn Mājah recorded it from ʿAbd al-Jabbār ibn ʿUmar, from [Ibn] Abī Furwah, from Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf, the client of ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān, from his father, from him. In the Zawāʾid it is said: “Its chain is weak; it contains Ibn Abī Furwah—his name is Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh—whom the critics declared weak, and likewise ʿAbd al-Jabbār ibn ʿUmar.”
