1. Reward For Pronouncing Adhan

Narrated by Abu-Huraira (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If the people knew the reward for pronouncing adhan and they found no other way to get there except by drawing lots, they would draw lots".

[Sahih Bukhari]

2. Shaitan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When the Adhan is pronounced Shaitan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan. When the Adhan is completed he comes back and again takes to his heels when the Iqama is pronounced and after its completion he returns again till he whispers into the heart of the person (to divert his attention from his prayer) and makes him remember things which he does not recall to his mind before the prayer and that causes him to forget how much he has prayed"

[Sahih Al-Bukhari]

3. Witness For The Mu'adhdhin On The Day Of Judgement.

Narrated by Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace abd blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever hears the Adhan, whether a human being, a jinn or any other creature, will be a witness for him (the Mu’adhdhin) on the Day of Judgement.”

[Sahih Bukhaari]


4. While The Adhan Is Being Called, One Should Listen Attentively And Repeat Every Line Silently After The Mu'adhdhin

Narrated by Hisham (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said" "When Azan is pronounced, Repeat each statement what the Mu’aththin says, except for when he says:

Hayya ‘alas-Solaah (hasten to the prayer).

Hayya ‘alal-Falaah (hasten to salvation).

Here you should say:

Laa hawla wa laa quwwata ‘illaa billaah (There is no might and no power except by Allaah)

[Sahih Bukhari]

5. Invoke Blessings To The Prophet (Peace And Blessings Be Upon Him)

Narrated by Abdullah b. Amr bin al-‘As (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (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 a blessing on me will receive ten blessings from Allaah; then beg from Allaah al-Wasilah for me, which is a rank in Paradise fitting for only one of the servants of Allaah, and I hope that I may be that one. If anyone who asks that I be given the Wasilah, he will be assured of my intercession.

[Sahih Muslim]


The text of As-Salawat Al-Ibrahimiah is:

[Allaahumma salli alaa Muhammadin wa alaa aali Muhammadin, kamaa sallayta alaa Ibraaheema wa alaa aali Ibraaheema innaka Hameedun Majeed. Allahumma Baarik alaa Muhammadin wa alaa aali Mohammadin kamaa baarakta alaa Ibraaheema wa alaa aali Ibraaheema innaka Hameedun Majeed.]

[O Allaah bestow your favor on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad as You have bestowed Your favor on Ibrahim and on the family of Ibrahim, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allaah, bless Muhammad and the family of Mohammad as You have blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious].

[Sahih Bukhari]

6. After The Adhan, It Is Recommended To Say The Following Dua (Supplication)

Narrated by Jaber Ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:.whoever after listening to adhan says :Allahumma rabba hadhihi-d-da‘awati-t-tammati wa-s-Salati-l-qa’imati, ati Muhammadan il-wasilata wa-l-fadilata wa-b‘ath-hu maqamam mahmudan illadhi wa‘adtahu.

O Allaah Lord of this most perfect call, and of the Prayer that is about to be established, grant to Muhammad the favor of nearness (to You) and excellence and a place of distinction, and exalt him to a position of glory that You have promised him. Then intercession for me will be permitted for him on the Day of Resurrection".

[Sahih Bukhari]



7. The Hearer Should Say After Hearing Adhan

Narrated by Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (May Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He who says after the Adhan: 'Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah Wah-dahu la sharika Lahu; wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluhu, radhitu Billahi Rabban, wa bi Muhammadin Rasulan, wa bil Islami Dinan.

[I testify that there is no true god except Allaah Alone; He has no partners and that Muhammad (pbuh) is His slave and Messenger; I am content with Allaah as my Lord, with Muhammad as my Messenger and with Islam as my religion" his sins will be forgiven.

[Sahih Muslim]

8. Make Dua To Allaah In Between The Adhan And Iqamaah

Narrated by 'Anas bin Malik (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The supplication made between the adhan and the iqamah will not be rejected."

Narrated by Abdullah bin Amr bin Al Aas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that A man said: Messenger of Allaah, the mu'adhdhins excel us. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say (the same words) as they say, and when you come to the end, make a petition and that will be granted to you.
