The reward of repeating after the Adhān (prayer call) When you hear the Muezzin, repeat what he says. If the Iqāmah for prayer is proclaimed, and the dinner is served, start with the dinner Whoever says when he hears the Muezzin: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone without any partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, with Muhammad as a Messenger, and with Islam as a religion," his sins shall be forgiven Whoever says on hearing the call to prayer: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer that is to be offered, grant Muhammad the Wasīlah and the Fadīlah, and resurrect him to the praiseworthy station that You have promised him," He will definitely be granted my intercession on the Day of Judgment When you hear the Muezzin, say what he says and then invoke Allah's blessings upon me O Bilāl, call the iqāmah for prayer; give us comfort by it Bilāl calls the Adhān at night; so, eat and drink until you hear the Adhān called by Ibn Umm Maktūm Bilāl was ordered to pronounce the Adhān in pairs and the Iqāmah in singles I came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) when he was in a red leather tent. Bilāl stepped out with ablution water (that was left over from the Prophet's ablution. There were some people who managed to get some of it (seeking its blessing), whereas others just received a sprinkle of it As for this man, he has disobeyed the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) I see that you like sheep and wilderness. So whenever you are with your sheep - or in the wilderness - and you want to call the Adhān, raise your voice When the call to prayer is announced, the devil takes to his heels and breaks wind with noise so as not to hear the call The Muezzins will have the longest necks of all the people Indeed, it is a true dream, Allah Willing! Go and teach these words to Bilāl, and let him make the call to prayer with them, as his voice is more melodious than yours It is part of the Sunnah that when the Muezzin says in the Adhān for the Fajr prayer: "Come to success," he then says: "prayer is better than sleep." You are their leader; be considerate to their weak ones, and choose a Muezzin who does not take wages for his Adhān The Muezzin of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to delay the Iqāmah until he would see the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) coming out. On seeing him, he would pronounce the Iqāmah Go back to your families and stay with them. Teach them (religion) and command them (to adhere to it), perform so-and-so prayer at so-and-so time, and when prayer becomes due, let one of you call the Adhān and let the oldest among you lead you in prayer I saw Bilāl going out to Al-Abtah to make Adhān. When he reached: "Come to prayer! Come to success!" He turned his neck right and left and did not turn around The Muezzin is responsible for the Adhān, and the leader of the congregation is responsible for the Iqāmah Bilāl made a call to prayer before the break of dawn. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) therefore commanded him to return and make a call: Lo! The slave of Allah slept. Lo! The slave of Allah slept
