Several versions of the adhan have been narrated in sound reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). It is Sunnah to use all the versions that have been narrated from him in order to revive the Sunnah and to put an end to disputes and differences.

It is not prescribed for women to say the Adhan and Iqamah for prayer, whether they are praying individually or one woman leads the others in prayer.

The Adhan was prescribed at the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Madinah, after a dream seen by one of the Companions.

The correct view is that the Adhan was prescribed when the Messenger of Allah was in Madinah, and in Makkah or during the Isra’ journey as some inauthentic Hadiths suggest.
