Sunnats of Azaan and Iqaamah – Part Seven
Aadaab at the time of calling out the azaan:
4. Place the index finger into the earlobes or cover the entire ear with all the fingers.[1]
عن عبد الرحمن بن سعد بن عمار بن سعد مؤذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال حدثني أبي عن أبيه عن جده أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر بلالا أن يجعل أصبعيه في أذنيه وقال إنه أرفع لصوتك (سنن ابن ماجه #710)
Hazrat Sa’d (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) commanded Hazrat Bilaal (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to place his fingers in his ears (at the time of calling out the azaan) and said, “This will enable you to call out the azaan in a louder tone.”
