Abu Mahdhurah also narrated this tradition from the prophet ﷺ to the same effect through a different chain of transmitters. This version has the additional wordings. The phrases prayer is better than sleep; prayer is better than sleep are to be pronounced in the first ADHAN i.e.; not in Iqamah of the morning prayer.Abu Dawud said; The version narrated by Mousaddad is more clear. It reads: He the prophet taught me IQAMAH to pronounce each phrase twice: Allah is most great. Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah: come to prayer; come to prayer: come to salvation; come to salvation: Allah is most great. Allah is great; there is no god but Allah.Abu Dawud said: The narrator Abd AlRazzaq said; You pronounce IQAMAH for announcing the prayer; you must say twice: the time for prayer has come; the time for prayer has come. The Prophet said to Abu Mahdhurah : did you listen to me ? Abu Mahdhurah would not have the hair of his forehead cut; nor would he separate them from him because the Prophet ﷺ wiped over them.
