حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ بِلاَلاً يُؤَذِّنُ وَيَدُورُ وَيُتْبِعُ فَاهُ هَا هُنَا وَهَا هُنَا وَإِصْبَعَاهُ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ حَمْرَاءَ أُرَاهُ قَالَ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَخَرَجَ بِلاَلٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِالْعَنَزَةِ فَرَكَزَهَا بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَصَلَّى إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَرِيقِ سَاقَيْهِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ نُرَاهُ حِبَرَةً

"I saw Bilal calling the Adhan, and turning, and his (face) was following here and there, and his (index) fingers were in his ears, and Messenger of Allah was in a small red tent" - "I think," he (one of the narrators) said, "it was made from a hide" - so Bilal went out in front of him with an Anazah which he planted (in the ground) at Batha. Messenger of Allah prayed facing it, and a dog and a donkey passed in front of him; he was wearing a red Hullah, and it is as if I am now looking at the radiance of his shins." Sufyan said: "We think that it was a Hibrah."
Notes
قَالَ سُفْيَانُ نُرَاهُ حِبَرَةً. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَعَلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ فِي الأَذَانِ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ وَفِي الإِقَامَةِ أَيْضًا يُدْخِلُ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ. وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ. وَأَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ اسْمُهُ وَهْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السُّوَائِيُّ
machine translationSufyān said: We think it was a ḥibarah (a striped Yemeni cloth). Abū ʿĪsā said: The ḥadīth of Abū Juḥayfah is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) ḥadīth. It is acted upon among the people of knowledge. They consider it recommended that the muʾadhdhin place his two fingers in his ears during the adhān. Some of the people of knowledge said: In the iqāmah as well he places his two fingers in his ears. This is the view of al-Awzāʿī. Abū Juḥayfah's name is Wahb b. ʿAbdillāh al-Suwāʾī.

الاستدارة في الأذان ليست في الطرق الصحيحة في حديث أبي جحيفة ونحن نتوهم أن سفيان رواه عن الحجاج بن أرطاة عن عون والحجاج غير محتج به وعبد الرزاق وهم فيه
machine translationThe turning around during the adhān is not found in the sound routes of the ḥadīth of Abū Juḥayfah. We suspect that Sufyān narrated it from al-Ḥajjāj b. Arṭāh, from ʿAwn, and al-Ḥajjāj is not to be relied upon as proof, and ʿAbd al-Razzāq made an error in it.

machine translationGood and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ). Mughulṭāy said: This is not a declaration of soundness for the ḥadīth of Ḥajjāj; rather he meant to declare sound the ḥadīth of Abū Juḥayfah in itself, and likewise it is sound in its origin.
