3 Hence, التَّرْجِيعُ فِى الأَذَانِ, because the two professions of the faith [for which see the word أَذَانٌ] are uttered in the اذان [or call to prayer] in a low voice [and then repeated in a high voice]; [for] this phrase means The repeating the two professions of the faith in a raised, or loud, voice, after uttering them in a low, or faint, voice; or the lowering of the voice in the اذان in uttering the two professions of the faith, and then raising it in uttering them: or رجّع فِى أَذَانِهِ signifies he uttered the two professions of the faith in his اذان once to repeat them.

You say also, رجّع الحَمَامُ فِى غِنَائِهِ [The pigeons quavered in their singing, or cooing]; as also .
