Riyad as-Salihin, 1039

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who says upon hearing the Adhan: 'Allahumma Rabba hadhihid-da'wati-ttammati, was-salatil-qa'imati, ati Muhammadanil-wasilata wal-fadhilata, wab'athu maqaman mahmuda nilladhi wa 'adtahu [O Allah, Rubb of this perfect call (Da'wah) and of the established prayer (As-Salat), grant Muhammad the Wasilah and superiority, and raise him up to a praiseworthy position which You have promised him]', it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection." [Al- Bukhari].

وعن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏من قال حين يسمع النداء‏:‏ اللهم رب هذه الدعوة التامة، والصلاة القائمة، آت محمدًا الوسيلة والفضيلة، وابعثه مقامًا محمودًا الذي وعدته، حلت له شفاعتي يوم القيامة‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadiths: The above Hadiths include a number of reported Sunnahs and etiquettes related to the Adhān, as follows: 1) We should respond to the Muezzin by repeating what he says, except in the phrases “Hayy ‘ala as-salāh, hayy ‘ala al-falāh” (come to prayer; come to success), where we should respond with: “La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah” (There is no power nor strength except through Allah). In other words, we resolve to respond to the call by virtue of Your help, O Lord. 2) It is recommended to invoke Allah’s peace and blessings upon the Prophet immediately after the Adhān is over. 3) We should ask Allah Almighty to grant the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) the Wasilah, which is the highest rank in Paradise, and to resurrect him to a praiseworthy station which all the creation will praise him for - and that is the station of intercession on the Day of Judgment. 4) Observing these Sunnahs regularly is a means for expiation of sins and winning the Prophet’s intercession.
