Why is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to supplicate: “O Allah, Lord of this perfect call,” but not permissible for him to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I said: O Shaykh, it is permissible for the mu'adhdhin to supplicate: “O Allah, Lord of this perfect call,” but it is not permissible for him to send blessings.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So how do we distinguish between them, so that we may understand, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh : The distinction is that the sending of blessings came with the wording:Sunan Abi Dawud 523Sahih (Al-Albani) and so on. So his saying: does not include the mu'adhdhin. Is that understood up to this point?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, yes.
The Shaykh : Now, as for the supplication mentioned in the question, it has another text, the wording of which is:Sahih al-Bukhari 614. So the word “whoever says” includes every listener, whether he is the mu'adhdhin or not.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah! Praise be to Allah, it is understood now, praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So how do we distinguish between them, so that we may understand, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh : The distinction is that the sending of blessings came with the wording:
when you hear the mu'adhdhin repeat what he says, invoke a blessing on me
إذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقول ، ثم صلُّوا عليَّWhen you hear the mu'adhdhin
إذا سمعتم المؤذنThe questioner : Praise be to Allah, yes.
The Shaykh : Now, as for the supplication mentioned in the question, it has another text, the wording of which is:
Whoever after listening to the Adhan says, 'Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-dda` watit-tammah
مَن قال حين يسمع النداء : اللهم ربَّ هذه الدعوة التامةThe questioner : Glory be to Allah! Praise be to Allah, it is understood now, praise be to Allah.
