Is it a sin if I say "Prayer is better than sleep" in the second Fajr adhan, and I did not say it in the first adhan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: There is a second question, if you please.
The Shaykh : Go ahead. I give the adhan in a mosque in al-Shamiyyah here.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Voluntarily, and I am not, I mean, obligated.
The Shaykh : That is better for you.
The student: Regarding the Fajr adhan, the first and second adhan.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: It is customary with us to say "Prayer is better than sleep" in the second adhan. If I follow this opinion and do not say it in the first adhan, is it a sin?
The Shaykh : If you are able to say it only in the first adhan, that is the Sunnah.
The student: But because today I gave the adhan and said it in the first adhan.
The Shaykh : But what?
The student: Today.
The Shaykh : Ah
The student: I gave the adhan and said it in the first adhan.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: So the congregation in the neighborhood was startled by this saying.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Is it permissible for me to give the adhan like that again, or...
The Shaykh : Did you prepare for it by explaining the Sunnah to the congregation who were startled by the Sunnah? Did you prepare?
The student: No, by Allah, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is the error. Many people are enthusiastic about the Sunnah and surprise people with it without preparing for it through education and awareness.
The student: O Shaykh, the imam of a mosque, the imam of a mosque here, we prepared the matter for him, but he is insistent on the opinion of the Waqf.
The Shaykh : It is not enough for the imam, my brother. You must increase the people around you so that they follow you in the Sunnah. This imam of the mosque is mostly an employee, not a volunteer like you in the adhan. He is an employee and comes to perform this job. Did he hit the Sunnah or miss it? It is not enough that you discuss with the imam and then find that he does not respond to you. You must discuss with the people and convince them if you have knowledge.
The student: May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills. How are you?
The student: How are you, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Very well.
The student: Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The student: Mahmoud Abu al-'Az, from the people of Aqaba, and he resides in Saudi Arabia for years, working... in it, and he is among those who hold Saudi citizenship. He resides in the country, in a field.
The Shaykh : A field.
The student: I mean, he did not want to go far, even... it is considered twenty or twenty-five kilometers.
The Shaykh : But.
The student: Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : So, close.
The student: He has to go there every day.
The Shaykh : It is like a flying bird, meaning he goes and comes.
The student: Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, yes.
The student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The student: How is it going?
The Shaykh : I praise Allah and thank Him.
The student: Good.
The Shaykh : May Allah make you good.
The student: Your brother in Allah, Abu 'Ukaymah, from Ma'an, is speaking.
The Shaykh : Abu whom?
The student: Abu 'Ukaymah from Ma'an.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The student: How is it going?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The student: May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : A moment, if you please.
The student: Let's go, in the name of Allah.
The Shaykh : Where is Sami? Let us see. Yes, peace. Go ahead.
The Shaykh : Go ahead. I give the adhan in a mosque in al-Shamiyyah here.
