If a person hears one muezzin then another, should he repeat after the second one as well?

Question: 108374

If a person hears one muezzin then he hears another, should he repeat after the second one as well?.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

He should respond to the first one and to the second, because
of the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him): “When you hear the muezzin, then say what the
muezzin says.” 

But if he has prayed then he hears a muezzin after he has
prayed, then the apparent meaning of the hadeeth is that he should repeat
after him, because of its general meaning. 

Some of the scholars said that he may not repeat after him
because he is not being called in this adhaan, so he does not have to repeat
after him, and it is not possible for another call to prayer to be given
after the prayer has been offered, so the hadeeth is to be interpreted
according to what was usual at the time of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), when the adhaan was not repeated. But if
someone wants to follow the general meaning of the hadeeth and say that it
is dhikr, and as the hadeeth is general in meaning, then there is no reason
why one should not remember Allaah, and that is fine. End quote.
