Is the mu'adhdhin responded to when he calls for the prayer (al-thawb) in the same way he is responded to with the words of the adhan?

Question:
He asks: Is the mu'adhdhin responded to when he calls for the prayer (al-thawb) in the same way he is responded to with the words of the adhan?

Answer:
The scholars of jurisprudence say that one should say, "You have spoken the truth and done well." However, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) says no; he says one should say what the mu'adhdhin says. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: except for the two exclamations of praise, where one says, "There is no power and no strength except in Allah." As for the al-thawb, one says what the mu'adhdhin says, acting in accordance with the hadith, and this is the correct position. One says, "Prayer is better than sleep," just as the mu'adhdhin says it.
