Question:
When does one say: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord" after the two testimonies?
Answer:
When saying the two testimonies, one says: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad as my Messenger." This is in the hadith of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) , from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22:125, when saying the two testimonies in the adhan and the iqamah.
Q: Is the sending of blessings upon the Prophet before the supplication: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call"?
A: This is the Sunnah; one sends blessings upon him and then makes the supplication.
Q: Is this based on the generality of the evidence, or is there specific evidence for this?
A: It is based on the hadith you heard; the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr, narrated by Muslim in the Sahih, in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 657, so one sends blessings upon the Prophet first and then says: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call".
Q: Is it better to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as one does in the tashahhud?
A: That is better; because "send blessings upon me" means the prayer that was commanded: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of Ibrahim, for You are Praiseworthy and Majestic," and if one shortens it and says: "O Allah, send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah" for reasons, we hope there is no harm, but for one to come with the complete prayer, that is what is best.
And some people add "the high rank," and this is a mistake; it is not in the narration, it is not in the narration. The high rank is the wasilah, it is the same thing. The wasilah and the fadilah is the high station in Paradise, and "the high rank" is not in the narration. Rather, this is from the mistake of some people in writing it, saying: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the wasilah and the fadilah and the high rank." No, the rank is the wasilah itself, so it is not in the narration. But in the narration it is: "O Allah, grant Muhammad the wasilah and the fadilah and raise him to the praiseworthy station which You have promised him."
Q: In some narrations, "May Allah bless you" was reported?
A: It is a mistake, a mistake, a mistake from some of the writers and copyists; it is not in the narration.
Q: Who said: If the mu'adhdhin says in the Fajr adhan: "Prayer is better than sleep," then you say: "There is no power and no strength except with Allah"?
A: No, it has no basis. You say: "Prayer is better than sleep." The huqalah (saying "There is no power and no strength except with Allah") is when he says: "Hay 'ala al-salah, hay 'ala al-falah." He says: "There is no power and no strength except with Allah." As for when he says "Prayer is better than sleep," you say: "Prayer is better than sleep," just like him.
Q: Adding "You do not break Your promise"?
A: There is no harm in it.
When does one say: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord" after the two testimonies?
Answer:
When saying the two testimonies, one says: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad as my Messenger." This is in the hadith of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) , from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:
Whoever says when the mu'adhdhin says "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah": "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad as my Messenger"; his sin will be forgiven.
مَن قال حين يقول المؤذن أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله: رضيتُ بالله ربًّا، وبالإسلام دينًا، وبمحمد رسولًا؛ غُفر له ذنبهQ: Is the sending of blessings upon the Prophet before the supplication: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call"?
A: This is the Sunnah; one sends blessings upon him and then makes the supplication.
Q: Is this based on the generality of the evidence, or is there specific evidence for this?
A: It is based on the hadith you heard; the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr, narrated by Muslim in the Sahih, in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When you hear the mu’adhdhin repeat what he says, then invoke a blessing on me, for everyone who invokes one blessing on me will receive ten blessings from God. Then ask God to give me the wasila
إذا سمعتُم المؤذن فقولوا مثلما يقول، ثم صلوا عليَّ، فإنه مَن صلى عليَّ صلاةً صلَّى الله عليه بها عشرًا، ثم سلوا الله لي الوسيلةQ: Is it better to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as one does in the tashahhud?
A: That is better; because "send blessings upon me" means the prayer that was commanded: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of Ibrahim, for You are Praiseworthy and Majestic," and if one shortens it and says: "O Allah, send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah" for reasons, we hope there is no harm, but for one to come with the complete prayer, that is what is best.
