Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The supplication made between the Adhan and the Iqamah is never rejected." <b>[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]</b>.

وعن أنس قال : قَالَ رسول الله : « الدُّعَاءُ لا يُرَدُّ بَيْنَ الأَذَانِ وَالإقَامَةِ » . رواه أَبُو داود والترمذي ، وقال : ( حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ )

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) It encourages us to seek virtuous times for supplication.<br> 2) It points out the etiquette related to supplication. Before making supplication, a person should praise Allah Almighty and invoke His blessings upon the Prophet, which makes the supplication more likely to be answered. It is recommended for the person who hears the Adhān to repeat after the Muezzin, which is a kind of praise to Allah Almighty, after which he should invoke Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet and implore Him to grant the Prophet the Wasilah. This makes the supplication after the Adhān more likely to be answered.<br> Note:<br> As the Adhān is part of the Dhikr reported in the Sunnah, the scholars devoted great attention to determining its words and phrases, and they agreed that the Adhān ends with the phrase “La ilaha illa Allah” (there is no god but Allah).<br> Invoking Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet and asking Him to grant him the Wasilah, as reported in the preceding Hadiths, is among the Sunnahs associated with the Adhān. It is not permissible to say it loudly lest it becomes regarded as part of the Adhān. The Prophet’s guidance, observed during his lifetime, is that the Adhān would be announced, after which the Muezzin and those who heard him would invoke Allah’s blessings upon the Prophet inaudibly. Whoever acts otherwise has contradicted the Sunnah and departed from the views of the leading scholars in this regard. Muezzins should be careful to adhere to the Sunnah and not to swerve from it, for it involves all goodness and blessing.
