The Meaning of the Mu'adhdhin's Saying: "Hayya 'ala al-Salah"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The first question: What is the meaning of the mu'adhdhin's saying "Hayya 'ala al-Salah"?

The Shaykh : Whoever knows.

The questioner : For the one in front of you.

The Shaykh : Here is what.

The questioner : Well done. Is it 'Abd or is it cut off? May Allah bless you. Now, is this phrase said in the adhan and not in the iqamah?

The Shaykh : Now, since we are present, how do we say "Hayya 'ala al-Salah"?

The questioner : Now, if we have finished the adhan and we know that "Hayya 'ala al-Salah" means "come to it from your homes and attend to the mosque," but if we are already present and the mu'adhdhin says "Hayya 'ala al-Salah"

The Shaykh : Or we say, not every prayer is a prayer. This is why it was stated in the hadith
A man may leave his prayer with only half of it, or a quarter of it, recorded for him.إن الرجل لينصرف من صلاته ما كتب له منها إلا نصفها ربعها
a tenth of it, because a prayer without khushu' and presence of heart is a body without a soul.
