The Number of Phrases in the Adhan and Iqamah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: The iqamah according to the Hanafis (may Allah have mercy on them) is like the adhan, but with the addition of "Qad qamat al-salah" (The prayer has begun). Did the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) come in this manner?

The Shaykh:
The iqamah according to the Hanafis.

The questioner:
Yes, he says: The iqamah according to the Hanafis is like the adhan, with the addition of "Qad qamat al-salah."

The Shaykh:
I do not know about this. The iqamah consists of eleven phrases, and the adhan consists of fifteen phrases; this is what is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). You can review the books of the Hanafis and see what their evidence is for this.
