Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Saying "You have spoken the truth and you have been righteous" when the mu'adhdhin says, "Prayer is better than sleep"?
Answer:
No, the correct thing is to say what he says: "Prayer is better than sleep."
"You have spoken the truth and you have been righteous"—this has no basis; it is not correct.
One should say what the mu'adhdhin says: "Prayer is better than sleep."
And when the iqamah is called, one should say, "The prayer has begun," just like the mu'adhdhin. This is the correct thing.
