Hadith: Excellence of Call To Prayer (Adhan) in Islam

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

"When you hear the Mu'adhdhin (pronouncing the call to Salat), repeat after him what he says.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
This Hadith also tells us to repeat the words of Adhan when we hear it. But when he says "Hayya `alas-Salah'' or "Hayya `alal-Falah'' we must say "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.''
