al-Ajwibah al-Nafiah an Asilat Lajnat Masjid al-JamiahNasir al-Din al-Albani

was delivered in front of the pulpit, close to it. Al-ʿAllāmah al-Kashmīrī¹ said:

‘I have found no evidence within the four legal schools for giving this adhān inside the mosque except what the author of al-Hidāyah cited: that it has been perpetuated by continuous practice, and that others have likewise transmitted it. From this I understood that they possess no proof beyond what the author of al-Hidāyah reported, and for that reason they fall back on inherited practice.’

I say: It is plain to any discerning reader that such inherited practice is of no value for two reasons:

  1. It conflicts with the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and the practice of the Rightly Guided Caliphs after him;

  2. Its origin dates to the era of Hishām and not to that of the Companions, as has already been explained. Ibn ʿĀbidīn states in his marginalia (1/769):

(1) Fayd al-Bari, vol. 2, p. 335. The author was one of the leading Hanafi jurists devoted to hadith studies in India; he would adhere to the hadith even when it occasionally differed from the school’s position. He died in 1352 AH—may Allah have mercy on him.
كان بين يدي المنبر قريبا منه قال العلامة الكشميري١: ولم أجد على كون هذا الأذان داخل المسجد دليلا عند المذاهب الأربعة إلا ما قال صاحب الهداية": إنه جرى به التوارث ثم نقله الآخرون أيضا ففهمت منه أنهم ليس عندهم دليل غير ما قاله صاحب "الهداية" ولذا يلجؤون إلى التوارث" قلت: وليس يخفى على البصير أنه لا قيمة لمثل هذا التوارث لأمرين: الأول: أنه مخالف لسنة النبي ﷺ والخلفاء الراشدون من بعده والآخر: أن ابتداءه من عهد هشام لا من عهد الصحابة كما عرفت وقد قال ابن عابدين في الحاشية "١/٧٦٩":
١ في فيض الباري ٢/٣٣٥ وهو من كبار فقهاء الحنفية المشتغلين بالحديث في الهند وهو يتبع الحديث ولو خالف المذهب في بعض الأحيان توفي سنة ١٣٥٢هـ رحمه الله تعالى.
