The ruling on saying "Prayer is better than sleep" in the first adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is from the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the one to whom the adhan is not called, and that the adhan is called, and that the adhan is called, or is the adhan the better performance? The second one? And it came in the hadith of Paradise that the Aws... so prayer is better than sins in the performance of good, as these people say, the favor of Allah upon him. And this matter was attributed to some people, so they said that saying "Muhammad has passed" is better than the light in the first adhan, and that is a reduction in the adhan, if a core comes out to it, so his own saying was lost in that.

Answer:
What is clear, and Allah knows best, is that if the two adhans are close together, like the adhan of Bilal and the adhan of Umm Maktum, such that there was nothing between them except that this one descends and this one ascends, then there is no harm in saying "Prayer is better than sleep" in the first or in the second; there is no harm. But if there is a long time between the two adhans, as is the case now, then it is to be placed in the second adhan so as not to mislead the people. That is, you call the adhan an hour before Fajr and say "Prayer is better than sleep," which means that the people go to the mosques and the time has increased by an hour for them, so the people are pressured. So if there is a long time between the two adhans, then "Prayer is better than sleep" is to be in the second adhan, so as not to mislead the people. But if there is only a short time between the two adhans, then there is no harm in it being in the first or in the second.
