The Fruits Of Knowledge

*THE 5 SUNAN OF 'ADHAN:*

Overall, there a 5 recommended acts (Sunan) that accompany the 'Adhan, as Ibnul-Qayyim رحمه الله mentioned:

*FIRSTLY:* To repeat after the Mu'adhin, except when he says:
«حي على الصلاة»
Come to prayer!
«حي على الفلاح»
Come to success!
in these 2 instances the listener should instead say:
«لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله»
There is no might nor power except by Allah.

*SECONDLY:* After the Mu'adhin says:
«أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله
أشهد أن محمدًا رسول الله
أشهد أن محمدًا رسول الله»
The listener should say:
«وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولاً وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا»
"I too testify that there is no god but Allah alone. Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, (and that) I am satisfied with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as a Messenger. and with Islam as a religion".

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "anyone says these words will have *his sins forgiven*"; as comes in the hadeeth of Sa'd Ibn abi waqqas reported by Muslim.

*THIRDLY:* At the end of the 'Adhan you should say:
«اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آل إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ»
"O Allah exalt the mention of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You exalted the mention of Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, You are the Praised, the Glorious, and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as you blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, You are the Praised, the Glorious."

Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibil-'As reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
"When you hear the Muadhin then say as he says. Then send Salat upon me, because whoever sends Salat upon me, Allah will send Salat upon him ten times due to it..."
Reported by Muslim

*FOURTHLY:* Then you should say:
«اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ»
"O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer to be offered, grant Muhammad the right of intercession and excellency, and raise him up to the praised station that you have promised him."
[hadeeth Jabir, reported by Bukhari]

In the previous hadeeth of Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibil-'As, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued to say:
"...Then ask Allah that He gives me Al-Wasilah, because it is a place in Paradise which is not for anyone except for a slave from the slaves of Allah, and I hope that I am him. And whoever asks that I have Al-Wasilah, then *(my) intercession will be made lawful for him*."

*FIFTHLY:* supplicate to Allah and ask of Him whatever you wish.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: A man said: O Messenger of Allah, the mu'adhdhins excel us. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Say (the same words) as they say, and when you come to the end, *supplicate (to Allah) and it will be answered*.
[reported by Abu Dawud, graded' saheeh' by Shaykh Albani]

Similarly, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The supplication made between the Adhan and the Iqamah is never rejected."
[hadeeth Anas, reported by Abu Dawud & Tirmithi]
