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.''

Hadith: The Excellence of Adhan (call to prayer)

Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying:

"When you hear the Adhan, repeat what the Mu'adhdhin says. Then ask Allah to exalt my mention because everyone who does so will receive in return ten rewards from Allah. Then beseech Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah, which is a high rank in Jannah, fitting for only one of Allah's slaves; and I hope that I will be that man. If any one asks Al-Wasilah for me, it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him.''

[Muslim]
