Ruling on saying: “May Allah establish it and make it lasting” when the iqamah is called
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When the mu'adhdhin says: “The prayer has begun,” some of the worshippers say: “May Allah establish it and make it lasting.” We know that there is a weak hadith regarding this, so what is your opinion?
Answer:
The Sunnah is to say: “The prayer has begun,” just as the mu'adhdhin says: “The prayer has begun, the prayer has begun.” As for the hadith:, it is a weak hadith, as the questioner stated, because there is an ambiguous person in its chain of narration; an unknown person. The Sunnah is to say what is said in the adhan for Fajr: “Prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep,” just as the mu'adhdhin does. And so it is in the iqamah: “The prayer has begun, the prayer has begun,” based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam), narrated by the two Shaykhs from the hadith of Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him).

أقامها الله وأدامهاWhen you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he says
إذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقول
