The ruling on saying "La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah" (There is no power nor strength except by Allah) when the call to prayer is made

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people, when the mu'adhdhin says "Hayya 'ala al-salah," say "Hayya 'ala al-salah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah." What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
This is a mistake. You should restrict yourselves to saying "La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah" and not follow the mu'adhdhin. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded.
