Do’a When You Hear the Adzan

There are five things in the Sunnah when you hear Adzan (the call for prayer):

1. Answer the Adzan as spoken by the Mu-adzin, except in the sentence

ِ ‫ حَ يَّ عَ لَى الْ َف َال‬, then recite:
ِ‫ حَ يَّ عَ لَى الصَّ َالة‬, and the sentence ‫ح‬

ِ ‫َﻻ َﺣ ْﻮﻟ َ َﻮ َﻻﻗُ َّﻮ َة ا َّﻻ ِاب‬

‫ﷲ‬
ِٕ
"No power and strength except with Allah's help."

“Tidak ada daya dan kekuatan kecuali dengan pertolongan Allah.”

Rasulullah salallahu’alayhi wasallam said:

"Whoever answered the call for prayer (with sincerity) from his heart, he will go to
Heaven."

“Barangsiapa menjawab adzan (dengan ikhlas) dari hatinya, ia akan masuk Surga.”
[Sharah Muslim IV/85-86 no 385]

And when the Muadzin say :

‫أَ َّﻟﺼ َﻼ ُة ﺧ ْ ٌَﲑ ِﻣ َﻦ اﻟﻨَّ ْﻮ ِم‬

Then, answered as he said as well.

2. After the Muadzin finished Adzan (the call for prayer), then you
recite:

‫ﷲ َو ْﺣﺪَ ُﻩ‬ُ ‫) َو َٔاانَ ( َٔا ْﺷﻬَﺪُ َٔا ْن َﻻ ا َ َهل ا َّﻻ‬

ِٕ ِٕ
ِ َ ‫َﻻ‬
‫ﴍﻳْ َﻚ َ ُهل َو) َٔا ْﺷﻬَﺪُ ( َٔا َّن ُﻣ َﺤ َّﻤﺪً ا َﻋ ْﺒﺪُ ُﻩ‬
‫ َو ِﺑ ُﻤ َﺤ َّﻤ ٍﺪ َر ُﺳ ْﻮ َﻻ‬،‫ َر َّاب‬5ِ ‫ َر ِﺿﻴْ ُﺖ ِاب‬،‫َو َر ُﺳ ْﻮ ُ ُهل‬
.‫َو ِاب ْﻻ ْﺳ َﻼ ِم ِدﻳْﻨًﺎ‬
ِٕ
"And I bear witness that there is no deity right to be worship but Allah the Almighty, no
partner unto Him, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger, I
am pleased that Allah as Rabb (the Lord) , Muhammad as a Messenger and Islam as my
religion "

“Dan aku bersaksi bahwa tidak ada ilah yang berhak diibadahi dengan benar melainkan
Allah Yang Maha Esa, tidak ada sekutu bagi-Nya, dan aku bersaksi bahwasanya
Muhammad adalah hamba-Nya dan Rasul-Nya, aku ridha Allah sebagai Rabb,
Muhammad sebagai Rasul dan Islam sebagai agamaku”

[Sahih hadits narrated by Imam Muslim no 386, Abu Dawud no 525, At-Tarmidzi no 210,
An-Nasaa-I II/26, Ibnu Majah no. 721, Imam Ahmad I/181 dan Ibnu Khuzaimah no 421,
reported by Sa’ad ibn Abi Waqqas radhiallahu’anhu]

3. Then recite Salawat upon Rasulullah salallahu’alayhi wasallam:

‫َٔاﻟﻠَّﻬُ َّﻢ َﺻ ِ ّﻞ ﻋَ َﲆ ُﻣ َﺤ َّﻤ ٍﺪ َوﻋَ َﲆ َا ِل ُﻣ َﺤ َّﻤ ٍﺪ‬

‫َ َامك َﺻﻠ َّ ْﻴ َﺖ ﻋَ َﲆ ا ْﺑ َﺮا ِﻫ ْ َﲓ َوﻋَ َﲆ َا ِل ا ْﺑ َﺮا ِﻫ ْ َﲓ‬
ِٕ ِٕ
 ‫ ٔاّﻟﻠَّﻬُ َّﻢ َاب ِركْ ﻋَ َﲆ ُﻣ َﺤ َّﻤ ٍﺪ‬،‫اﻧ ََّﻚ َ ِﲪ ْﻴ ٌﺪ َﻣ ِﺠ ْﻴ ٌﺪ‬
ِٕ
‫َوﻋَ َﲆ َا ِل ُﻣ َﺤ َّﻤ ٍﺪ َ َامك َاب َر ْﻛ َﺖ ﻋَ َﲆ ا ْﺑ َﺮا ِﻫ ْ َﲓ‬
ٌِٕ ‫َ َ ِ ِ َ َ ِﲪ ٌ ﻣ ِﺠ‬
.‫َوﻋَﲆ ال ا ْﺑ َﺮﻫ ْ َﲓ اﻧ َّﻚ ْﻴﺪ َ ْﻴﺪ‬
ِٕ ِٕ
“O Allah, grant blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You have
granted blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are the Praised,
Most Noble. Grant blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You
have granted blessings to Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are the Praised,
Most Noble.”

“Ya Allah, berikanlah shalawat kepada Muhammad dan keluarga Muhammad,

sebagaimana Engkau telah memberikan shalawat kepada Ibrahim dan keluarga
Ibrahim. Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Terpuji lagi Maha Mulia. Berikanlah berkah
kepada Muhammad dan keluarga Muhammad sebagaimana Engkau telah memberi
berkah kepada Ibrahim dan keluarga Ibrahim. Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Terpuji lagi
Maha Mulia.”

[Based on the narration of Imam Muslim no. 384, An-Nasaa-I II/25-26, Abu Dawud no.
523, Imam Ahmad II/168, Ibnu Khuzaimah no. 418, Al-Baihaqi I/409-410, reported by
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn Al-‘As.]

Warning:
Salawat which is recommended by the law of Islam, must recite it each one slowly, do
not use loudspeakers and not sung.
 4. Then recite this Do’a:

‫اﻟﺼ َﻼ ِة‬ َّ ‫ َو‬،‫َٔاﻟﻠَّﻬُ َّﻢ َر َّب َﻫ ِﺬ ِﻩ ادلَّ ْﻋ َﻮ ِة اﻟﺘَّﺎ َّﻣ ِﺔ‬

،‫ َا ِت ُﻣ َﺤ َّﻤﺪً ِان ا ِﻟ َﻮ ِﺳـ ْﻴ َ َةل َواﻟْ َﻔ ِﻀ ْﻴ َ َةل‬،‫اﻟْ َﻘﺎﺋِ َﻤ ِﺔ‬
.‫َواﺑْ َﻌﺜْ ُﻪ َﻣ َﻘﺎ ًﻣﺎ َﻣ ْﺤ ُﻤ ْﻮ ًد ِان َّ ِاذل ْي َوﻋَ ْﺪﺗَ ُﻪ‬
“O Allah, Lord of the Perfect Owner of Adzan (call to prayer) and Salah (obligatory)
established. Grant Al-Wasilah (degrees in Heaven), and the virtues upon Muhammad.
And raise him so that it can occupy the praiseworthy station which You have promised.”

“Ya Allah, Rabb Pemilik Panggilan yang sempuna (adzan) ini dan shalat (wajib) yang
didirikan. Berilah Al-Wasilah (derajat di Surga), dan keutamaan atas Muhammad. Dan
bangkitkanlah beliau sehingga bisa menempati maqam terpuji yang telah Engkau
janjikan.”

[Sahih hadits narrated by Imam Al-Bukhari no 614 and Fathul-Baari II/94, Abu Dawud
no. 529, At-Tarmidzi no 211, An-Nasaa-I II/26-27, Ibnu Majah no 722]

As for the additional ‫ﲣ ِﻠ ُﻒ اﻟ ْ ِﻤ ْﻴ َﻌﺎ َد‬

ْ ُ ‫ اﻧ ََّﻚ َﻻ‬is Dha’if (weak) and should not be recited
(practiced).
ِٕ

5. Then make do’a for yourself with a do’a that you wish between Adzan and
Iqamah, because do’a at that time granted (answered by Allah).

.‫َﻻ ُﻳ َﺮ ُّد ُّادلﻋَﺎ ُء ﺑ َ ْ َﲔ ْ َٔاﻻ َذ ِان َو ْاﻻﻗَﺎ َﻣ ِﺔ‬

ِٕ
"No prayer is rejected between the Adhan and iqamah."

“Tidak ditolak do’a antara Adzan dan Iqamah.”

[Sahih hadits narrated by At-Tamidzi no. 212, 3595, Imam Ahmad III/119, 155, 225. An-
Nasaa-I in his ‘Amalul-Yaum wal Lailah no. 67, 68, 69. Ibnu Khuzaimah no 425, 426,
427.]

Sahiih Al-Waabilis-Sayyib pg. 182-185, Zaadul-Ma’aad II/391-392]
