Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on what people say after the iqamah and before the takbir (saying Allahu akbar) of entering prayer, where they say, “May Allah establish it and make it lasting”?
Answer:
No, this is not reported for the phrase “The prayer has begun.” That is what is said after the iqamah, when the phrase “The prayer has begun” is recited. This is what is mentioned in the hadith, even though it is weak. As for after the iqamah, one does not say anything. Imam Ahmad was asked, “Do you say anything between the iqamah and the takbir?” He said, “No,” because it was not transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
