The ruling on saying: (May Allah establish it and make it lasting) when the iqamah is called

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, when the iqamah is called, say: "May Allah establish it and make it lasting." Has this been reported?

Answer:
A weak hadith has been reported, but the correct thing is to say the same as the caller: "The prayer has begun, the prayer has begun." This is based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
When you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he saysإذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثلما يقول
Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam)
The iqamah is a call to prayer, based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Between the two adhans there is a prayer, between the two adhans there is prayerبين كل أذانين صلاة، بين كل أذانين صلاة
Sunan Abi Dawud 1283Sahih (Al-Albani)
, so he named the iqamah a call to prayer. Therefore, when the mu'adhdhin says: "The prayer has begun," one should say the same: "The prayer has begun, the prayer has begun." This is the correct practice. As for the hadith
May Allah establish it and make it lastingأقامها الله وأدامها
, it is a weak hadith according to the scholars. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
