He also asks: What is the status of saying "The prayer is better than sleep" and "Hasten to the best of deeds" in the adhan? What is the authenticity of these phrases, may Allah bless you?
Answer:
As for "Hasten to the best of deeds," this is a religious innovation (bid'ah), because it is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for "The prayer is better than sleep," this is one of the phrases of the adhan in the last adhan of the Fajr prayer, the final adhan.
