Supplication after the Iqamah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 19327 )
Q 2: Is there a supplication that the worshipper recites after the mu'adhdhin says: "There is no god but Allah" during the iqamah ?
A 2:It is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the one who hears the mu'adhdhin recite the iqamah for prayer to say what he says, just as in the adhan, except for the two exclamations (hay'ilatayn), in which case he says: (There is no power and no strength except with Allah), due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
When you hear the Adhan, you should repeat the same words as the mu’adhdhin pronounces.إذا سمعتم النداء فقولوا مثل ما يقول المؤذن
Sunan Abi Dawud 522Sahih (Al-Albani)
agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. He saidal-Hafiz Ibn Hajar: He cited this as evidence for the prescription of responding to the mu'adhdhin in the iqamah, and for the hadith of'Umar ibn al-Khattab(may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which includes:
When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to prayer, one should make a response: There is no might and no power except with Allah. When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to salvation, one should respond: There is no might and no power except with Allahثم قال: حي على الصلاة فقال: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، ثم قال: حي على الفلاح، فقال: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
Sahih Muslim 385
It was narrated byMuslimin (his Sahih).And al-BukharifromMu'awiyah(may Allah be pleased with him):
but when he said, “Come to prayer, he said, “There is no might and no power except in God,”إذا قال: حي على الصلاة، قال: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
Mishkat al-Masabih 675
As for what is narrated fromAbu Umamah :
that Bilal began the iqama , and when he said, “The time for prayer has come,” God’s Messenger said, “May God establish it and cause it to continue!” During the whole of the iqama he made such responses as are found in ‘Umar’s tradition about the adhanأن بلالاً أخذ في الإقامة فلما أن قال: قد قامت الصلاة، قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: أقامها الله وأدامها، وقال في سائر ألفاظ الإقامة كنحو حديث عمر في الأذان
Mishkat al-Masabih 670
, this hadith, al-Mundhiri saidal-Mundhiri: there is an unknown narrator in its chain, and Shuhrah, who is a subject of criticism,
and al-Nawawi said: In any case, it is a weak, disconnected hadith, for Ibn Hushab did not hear from Ibn Abi Awfa , so what is prescribed is that the one who hears the iqamah, when he says: "The prayer has begun," should say what he says; due to the generality of the hadith of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned above and what came in its meaning. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
