Explanation of the Book of Prayer-05

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When you hear the Adhan, you should repeat the same words as the mu’adhdhin pronounces. إذا سمعتم النداء فقولوا مثل ما يقول المؤذن
Sunan Abi Dawud 522Sahih (Al-Albani)
Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Al-Bukhari also has a similar report from Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him)"
The statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
When you hear the call إذا سمعتم النداء
The intended meaning is: the call to prayer, which is the adhan
repeat what the Mu'adhdhin pronounces فقولوا مثل ما يقول المؤذن
Sahih Muslim 383
meaning, if he says: Allah is the Greatest, you say: Allah is the Greatest, following him. Nothing was excluded in this hadith, but the author said: "And Muslim has a report from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the virtue of saying what the mu'adhdhin says, word for word, except for the two 'hi'yala' phrases, in which case one says:
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
Sunan Ibn Majah 3885Da'if (Darussalam)
"
The two "hi'yala" phrases are the dual of "hi'yala," which is a coined name, meaning it is derived by taking a letter from one word and another letter from another word. "Hi'yala" means "Hurry to such-and-such." There are two "hi'yala" phrases: the first is "Hurry to prayer" and the second is "Hurry to success." The one following says: "There is no power and no strength except with Allah," and does not say: "Hurry to prayer," because he is the one being called. If he said: "Hurry to prayer," he would become a caller. One also does not combine them, meaning one does not say: "Hurry to prayer, there is no power and no strength except with Allah, hurry to success, there is no power and no strength except with Allah." Whoever claims that one says what is said in the "hi'yala" phrases and then follows it with "There is no power and no strength except with Allah," his claim is weak.
and when he says: 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him)' then say: 'Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Our Lord, and to You be the praise).' إذا قال : سمع الله لمن حمده فقولوا : ربنا ولك الحمد
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1061Sahih (Darussalam)
And his statement:
When you hear the call (to prayer), repeat what the Mu'adhdhin إذا سمعتم فقولوا مثل ما يقول
Sahih Muslim 383
Hearing is necessary. If one tries to catch the adhan and starts following based on that attempt, it will not benefit.
