حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ الْأَذَانَ کَانَ أَوَّلُهُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَلَمَّا کَانَ خِلَافَةُ عُثْمَانَ وَکَثُرَ النَّاسُ أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِالْأَذَانِ الثَّالِثِ فَأُذِّنَ بِهِ عَلَی الزَّوْرَائِ فَثَبَتَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَی ذَلِکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1087
Al-Saib bin Yazid said: During the time of the Prophet ﷺ 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 Madina). The rule of action continued to the same effect.
