حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمُنْعِمِ، هُوَ صَاحِبُ السِّقَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، وَعَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لِبِلاَلٍ " يَا بِلاَلُ إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ فَتَرَسَّلْ فِي أَذَانِكَ وَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ فَاحْدُرْ وَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَ أَذَانِكَ وَإِقَامَتِكَ قَدْرَ مَا يَفْرُغُ الآكِلُ مِنْ أَكْلِهِ وَالشَّارِبُ مِنْ شُرْبِهِ وَالْمُعْتَصِرُ إِذَا دَخَلَ لِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِهِ وَلاَ تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي " .
Jabir Narrated from:
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."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 195
This Hadith gives practical guidance for the Mu'adhdhin. Jabir bin Abdullah narrated that Allah's Messenger told Bilal to call the Adhan deliberately and slowly, and to call the Iqamah quickly. He also told him to leave enough time between the Adhan and Iqamah for a person eating to finish, a person drinking to finish, and a person who needs to relieve himself to do so. The Prophet also said not to stand until they saw him. This is useful for searches like gap between Adhan and Iqamah Hadith, Adhan slowly Iqamah quickly, and Bilal Adhan instruction. The message is practical, organized, and considerate of people preparing for prayer.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Adhan should be called deliberately and slowly in this narration.
- The Iqamah should be called more quickly in this narration.
- There should be enough time for people to get ready for prayer.
- The people were told not to stand until they saw the Prophet.
