The use of the accusative case for the word "Messenger of Allah" in the testimony within the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if the mu'adhdhin says, what is the text, what is the text, "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)," and he uses the accusative case with it

Answer:
This is a mistake, this is a mistake and a deficiency in the adhan, because if he says "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" with the accusative case for "Messenger of Allah," the predicate is not present, the predicate is not present, and the sentence is not complete. But if he says "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," the sentence is complete, the predicate is present, and the sentence is complete. However, the common people do not have the ability to recall these matters; they do not know that opening the lam results in a change in meaning, and that closing it completes the sentence. I know where these matters lie; their adhan is valid, if Allah wills, but it is recommended that they learn the correct adhan.
