Question:
What do we say when the mu'adhdhin says, "Prayer is better than sleep"?
Answer:
You say what the mu'adhdhin says, "Prayer is better than sleep," because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed for us to say what the mu'adhdhin says, except for the two cries, "Hayya 'ala al-salah" (Come to prayer) and "Hayya 'ala al-falah" (Come to success). He told us to say, "La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah" (There is no power and no strength except with Allah). As for the other words of the adhan, the listener says what the mu'adhdhin says. Yes.
