It was narrated that Abu Al-Muthanna, the Mu'adhdhin of the Jami' Masjid, said: I asked Ibn 'Umar about the Adhan and he said: 'At the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), the phrases of the Adhan were recited twice and the phrases of Iqamah once, except that you should say (the phrase) Qad qamat is-salah (prayer is about to begin)twice. When we heard 'prayer is about to begin' we would perform Wudu' and go out to pray.'

When the call to prayer is finished, he comes back. And when the Iqamah is said, he again takes to his heels, and after it is completed, he returns again to interfere between the (praying) person and his heart, saying to him: 'Remember such and such, remember such and such,' - things that he had not remembered - until he does not know how many (Rak'ahs) he has prayed.

And if they knew what (virtue) there is in 'Atamah and Subh prayer, they would come even if they had to crawl.
