Sunnah Acts of the Adthaan

 

*One should repeat with the Mu'ddahin (i.e. one who is calling the Adthaan). When he says: 'Haiya' alas-salah' (come to prayer) 'Haiya' alal-falah' (come to success) one should say: 'laa hawla wa laa quwata il'la bil'laah' (There is no might and no strength except by Allah).  

 

*One should ask Allah Almighty to grant Muhammad pbuh the Maqam alMahmoud (i.e. the praised station) by saying after the Adthaan (call to prayer): 'Allahumma rab'ba ha'dthehed da'wah at-tam'mah was'salatul qa'imah aate muhammadin al-waseelah wal-fadeelah wab'ath'who maqam al-mahmoud al'ladthee wa'ad'ta-who.^[1] 

 

*It is praiseworthy for one to say: 'radeeto bil'laahe rab'ban wa bil' Islaam deenan wa be Muhammad (pbuh) rasoolan.' (I am pleased with Allah as a Rubb and Islam as a Deen and Muhammad as a Messenger) (Ibn Majah) If one says this his sins will be forgiven. 

 

*One should supplicate Allah Almighty after the Adthaan. The Du'aa (supplication) is answered between the Adthaan and Iqamah. Anas b. Malik () said that the Messenger of Allah () said: 

'Du'aa is not rejected between the Adthaan and Iqamah.'  (Abu Dawood)

 

*One of the common mistakes people do in the Adthaan is adding a few words after the Adthaan which are not affirmed, such as adding: 'wad-darajah ar-ra'fee'ah' or 'yaa arham arrahimeen' or 'in'naka laa tokhl'efol me'aad.' 

*It is lawful for one to repeat with the Adthaan that is heard from the radio, if it is called on time. The Prophet () said: 

'If you hear the Muad'thin calling the Adthaan, repeat what he says.' (Abu Dawood)

[1] Meaning: 'O Allah, Rubb of this perfect call, and [Owner] of this prayer to be perfomed, grant Muhammad right of intercession and superiority; resurrect him to a praised station which You have promised him. Indeed, You do not fail in promise.' [Al-Bukhari]
