When I hear the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and these salutations are not written, such as when the mu'adhdhin says after the adhan: "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds"

The questioner : When I hear the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and these salutations are not written, such as when the mu'adhdhin says after the adhan: "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds" Is it obligatory for me to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in such a case?

The Shaykh : As for the mu'adhdhin saying: "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds" , this is a statement that is an innovation (bid'ah) and is not permissible for the mu'adhdhin to make a habit of, nor is it permissible for him to say it occasionally, because this was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) nor from his Rightly Guided Caliphs and the guided Companions. The adhan is sufficient as a call to prayer, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man: And the mu'adhdhin says to the people, "Hasten to prayer," so there is no need for him to add another dhikr. This is regarding what the mu'adhdhin says of this phrase or any other after the adhan. As for the listener of the mu'adhdhin who says this phrase, it is not obligatory for him to follow him in that. However, it was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): For this reason, some scholars held that whenever a person hears the mention of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is obligatory for him to send blessings upon him, so that he does not fall into this curse that Jibril invoked and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Ameen" to.
