The Ruling on the Mu'adhdhin Forgetting to Say "Prayer Is Better Than Sleep"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the mu'adhdhin forgets to say "Prayer is better than sleep" in the Fajr adhan, and he remembers or is reminded immediately after the adhan ends, what is the ruling? Is it permissible for him to repeat from the phrase "Prayer is better than sleep" and then complete the adhan?

Answer:
He should repeat the entire adhan, because he left out two phrases of the adhan, so he repeats the whole adhan. Yes.
