أَذَانٌ

A making known; a notification; an announcement. (T, S, Mgh.) [See 4.] So in the Qur'an, 9:3, وَ أَذَانٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ [And a notification, or an announcement, from God and his apostle to men, or the people]. (T, Mgh.)

Also, and ↓ أَذِينٌ, (T, S, M, K,) and تَأْذِينٌ, [the last a verbal noun of 2, and the second a quasi-verbal noun of the same, which see,] (M, K,) The notification, or announcement, of prayer, and of the time thereof; (T, S;) the call to prayer. (M, K.) [The words of this call (which is usually chanted from the مِيءْذَنَة, or turret of the mosque,) are اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرْ (four times) أَشْهَدُ أنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهْ (twice) أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَّسُولُ اللّٰهُ (twice) حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاهٌ (twice) حَىَّ عَلَى الفَلَاحْ (twice) اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرٌ (twice) لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهٌ.]

الأَذَانُ also signifies The [notification, or announcement, called] إِقَامَة; (M, K;) because it is a notification to be present at the performance of the divinelyordained prayers. (TA.) [This (which is chanted in the mosque) consists of the words of the former أَذَان with the addition of قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاهْ pronounced twice after حَىَ عَلَى الفَلَاحْ.]

الأَذَانَانِ signifies The أَذَانِ [more commonly so called] and the إِقَامَة. (TA.)
