Sahih al-Bukhari 894 (Book 11, Hadith 40)
Adhan for the Jumua prayer used to be pronounced after the Imam had taken his seat on the pulpit.
But when the people increased in number during the caliphate of `Uthman, he introduced a third
Adhan (on Friday for the Jumua prayer) and it was pronounced at Az-Zaura’ and that new state of
affairs remained so in the succeeding years.
