Is the noon in "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah" pronounced with sukun or with shaddah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A. A. A. from Casablanca says in his question: Is there a difference between saying "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah" with the noon in sukun, and saying it with the noon in shaddah? We ask for your guidance. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is prescribed in the adhan to pronounce the noon with sukun, merging it into the lam, and the meaning is: "I bear witness that He is the only god, there is no god but He." As for pronouncing it with shaddah, there is no basis for it in the narrations, and it should not be done. The meaning of that would be, if the narration were authentic: "I bear witness that He is the only god, there is no god but He." However, I do not know of any basis for this in the Sunnah narrated from the mu'adhdhins of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And success is from Allah.
