527. It was reported from ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “When the Mu’adh-dhin says: ‘Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu Akbar’ (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great). — and then one of you responds: ‘Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu Akbar’ (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great); then when he says: ‘Ashhadu an lā ilāha illallāh’ (I testify that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh) and one of you respond: ‘Ashhadu an lā ilāha illallāh’, then when he says: ‘Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūlullāh’ (I testify that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh); one of you responds: ‘Ashhadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūlullāh’ (I testify that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh); then when he says: ‘Hayya ‘alāṣ-ṣalāt’ (come to the prayer); and one of you says: 'Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh' (there is no change in any situation, nor is there any power to achieve anything except with Allāh); then when he says: 'Ḥayya 'alal-falāh' (come to prosperity); one of you says: Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh (There is no change in any situation, nor is there any power to achieve anything except with Allāh); then when he says: 'Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu Akbar' (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great); one of you says: 'Allāhu Akbaru Allāhu Akbar' (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is the Most Great); then when he says: 'Lā ilāha illallāh' (none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh); one of you says: 'Lā ilāha illallāh' (none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh); (and he does all of these actions sincerely) from his heart, he will enter Paradise (because of it)."(Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary

This narration proves the excellence and superiority of repeating the Adhān. By saying Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh, the worshiper petitions Allāh for His help and the power to achieve success.
