The supplication transmitted after the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says in his letter that they arrive at the mosque early, and when the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, they say, "We follow him." Then we hear many of the congregation say, after the mu'adhdhin finishes his adhan,Sahih al-Bukhari 4719 in Paradise. Is that correct or not?
The Shaykh:
What is preserved from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not include the addition "in Paradise." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is in the Sahih, narrated by Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). Al-Bayhaqi added at the end, "You will not miss the appointed time," and this is an addition that is not a problem. As for the addition "in Paradise," there is no basis for it, to the best of my knowledge. Yes.
The questioner:
But this addition that is added does not restrict the rank of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); because his position on the Day of Gathering is different from, for example, his elevation in Paradise. Is not this promise from Allah the intercession for the people?
The Shaykh:
These matters are matters of divine legislation (taqdiri); no one may add to them from their own opinion. The response to the mu'adhdhin and other acts of worship are matters of divine legislation; people are not to add anything to them from themselves. Rather, they should suffice with what came in the text and not add to it. This is the obligatory duty. The wasilah is a rank in Paradise, which is not befitting for a servant among the servants of Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that it is for him, the one upon whom are peace and blessings. So the one making du'a and the mu'adhdhin after the adhan makes this du'a as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided, and does not add anything or subtract anything. This is in the Sunnah.
He says in his letter that they arrive at the mosque early, and when the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, they say, "We follow him." Then we hear many of the congregation say, after the mu'adhdhin finishes his adhan,
O Allah, the Lord of this complete call and of this prayer, which is going to be established! Give Muhammad Al-Wasila and Al-Fadila and raise him to Al-Maqam-al-Mahmud which You have promised him
اللهم رب هذه الدعوة التامة والصلاة القائمة، آت محمدا الوسيلة والفضيلة، وابعثه مقاما محمودا الذي وعدتهThe Shaykh:
What is preserved from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not include the addition "in Paradise." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever says when he hears the call: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the wasilah and the excellence, and raise him to the praised position which You have promised him in Paradise," his intercession will be granted for him on the Day of Resurrection. This was narrated by al-Bukhari.
من قال حين يسمع النداء اللهم رب هذه الدعوة التامة والصلاة القائمة آت محمدا لوسيلة الفضيلة وبعثه مقامه ولغته حلت له شفاعته يوم القيامة هذا رواه البخاريThe questioner:
But this addition that is added does not restrict the rank of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); because his position on the Day of Gathering is different from, for example, his elevation in Paradise. Is not this promise from Allah the intercession for the people?
