حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّی بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمُنْعِمِ هُوَ صَاحِبُ السِّقَائِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ وَعَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِبِلَالٍ يَا بِلَالُ إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ فَتَرَسَّلْ فِي أَذَانِکَ وَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ فَاحْدُرْ وَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَ أَذَانِکَ وَإِقَامَتِکَ قَدْرَ مَا يَفْرُغُ الْآکِلُ مِنْ أَکْلِهِ وَالشَّارِبُ مِنْ شُرْبِهِ وَالْمُعْتَصِرُ إِذَا دَخَلَ لِقَضَائِ حَاجَتِهِ وَلَا تَقُومُوا حَتَّی تَرَوْنِي
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 195
Jabir [bin Abdullah] narrated: Allah's Messenger said to Bilal: O Bilal! When you call the Adhan then do so deliberately and slowly, and when you call the Iqamah then be quick. Allow enough time between your Adhan and Iqamah for the person eating to finish what he is eating, the person drinking to finish what he is drinking, and the one who needs time to relive himself, and do not stand until you see me.
