حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَتْنِي عَمَّتِي أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَهَا فِي يَوْمِهَا وَلَيْلَتِهَا فَسَمِعَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ يُؤَذِّنُ قَالَ كَمَا يَقُولُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ .

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 719
This hadith about the Prophet repeating the Adhan gives an example from Umm Habibah. She narrated that when the Messenger of Allah was with her and heard the Muadh-dhin calling the Adhan, he said what the Muadh-dhin said. This report supports the search phrase repeat after Adhan hadith because it describes the Prophet himself responding to the call. The narration is simple and practical. It does not mention extra wording beyond saying as the Muadh-dhin says. It also gives a real setting: he heard the Adhan during her day and night with him. The focus remains on listening to the call and answering it with the same words.
