حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، مُؤَذِّنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا كَانَ الْفَىْءُ مِثْلَ الشِّرَاكِ .
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sa’d Narrated from:
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sad, the Mu’adh-dhin of the Prophet (ﷺ), said: “My father told me, narrating from his father, from his grandfather, that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he used to call the Adhan on Fridays when the shadow was like a sandal strap.”

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 1101
This Hadith gives a clear picture of Friday Adhan timing during the time of the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم). The report says that the Mu’adh-dhin would call the Adhan on Fridays when the shadow was like a sandal strap. The main lesson is about the timing connected to Jumu’ah prayer, not a long discussion about later practice. The wording is simple: the call was made when a small shadow had appeared. For someone searching for a hadith about Friday Adhan, this narration points to how carefully the Companions observed prayer times. It also shows that the Adhan was tied to a real, visible sign of time, not guesswork.

- The Friday Adhan was connected to a visible sign of time.
- The Companions preserved details of the Prophet’s Friday practice.
- Jumu’ah prayer had an organized call to gather people.
- The Hadith teaches care and order in acts of worship.
