The Ruling on Reciting Along with the Mu'adhdhin in the Adhan and Iqamah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This is a questioner for the program who sent a set of questions. First, regarding the adhan, what is the ruling on reciting along after the adhan is finished, and what is prescribed in that? Also, regarding the iqamah, do we recite along with the mu'adhdhin?

Answer:
This is not called reciting along (tardid); rather, it is called following (mutaba'ah), following the mu'adhdhin, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

(peace and blessings be upon him)

صلى الله عليه وسلم

Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 2:194

When you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he says

إذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقول،

Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam)

So this is merely following the mu'adhdhin. One says what the mu'adhdhin says, and then when the adhan is finished, one says: "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent."

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

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلاَةِ الْقَائِمَةِ آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَابْعَثْهُ

Sahih al-Bukhari 4719

Allah, from the praiseworthy station that You have promised him, for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

If anyone asks Allah that I be given the wasilah, he will be assured

من سأل الله لي الوسيلة حلت

Sunan Abi Dawud 523Sahih (Al-Albani)

My intercession will be granted to him on the Day of Resurrection.
