Ruling on Responding to More Than One Mu'adhdhin for the Same Obligatory Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sister Salwa from Jeddah sent a message saying:
If a listener hears the adhan more than once for the same obligatory prayer, should he repeat what the mu'adhdhins say, or is it sufficient to repeat after one mu'adhdhin?

Answer:
The Sunnah is to respond to all of them; the Sunnah is to respond to all of them. This is based on the saying 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)
This is a general statement that encompasses all mu'adhdhins. So, one should say what he says, except at the point of "Hayya 'ala al-salah" (Hurry to prayer), where one says: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power nor strength except with Allah). And when the adhan is concluded, one should send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then say:
O Allah, the Lord of this complete call and of this prayer, which is going to be established! Give Muhammad Al-Wasila and Al-Fadila and raise him to Al-Maqam-al-Mahmud which You have promised himاللهم رب هذه الدعوة التامة، والصلاة القائمة، آت محمدًا الوسيلة والفضيلة، وابعثه مقامًا محمودًا الذي وعدته، إنك لا تخلف الميعاد
Sahih al-Bukhari 4719
Al-Bukhari narrated this in his Sahih, but without the addition:
You do not break Your promiseإنك لا تخلف الميعاد
Muwatta Malik 20:132
As for this addition, al-Bayhaqi narrated it with a good chain of narration. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
