Question:
He has another question, asking: What is the ruling on saying "Allah is the Greatest, the Truth" when hearing the adhan, given that this phrase is very widespread in Algeria?
Answer:
There is no need for the word "the Truth." What is reported is that whoever hears the mu'adhdhin should follow him and say what he says, except in the two "hay'atayn" (the phrases "Allahu Akbar" and "Allahu Akbar" in the adhan), where he should say "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power nor strength except with Allah), and he should not add "the Truth" or any words other than the words of the adhan. Yes.
