• Go back to your families and stay with them. Teach them (religion) and command them (to adhere to it), perform so-and-so prayer at so-and-so time, and when prayer becomes due, let one of you call the Adhān and let the oldest among you lead...
• It is part of the Sunnah that when the Muezzin says in the Adhān for the Fajr prayer: "Come to success," he then says: "prayer is better than sleep."
• When the call to prayer is announced, the devil takes to his heels and breaks wind with noise so as not to hear the call
• 'O Bilāl, call the Iqāmah for the prayer; give us comfort by it.'
