Sunnats and Aadaab of Azaan and Iqaamah – Part 8

The Manner of Calling out the Azaan of Fajr

If one is calling out the azaan of Fajr, then one will give the azaan in the same manner explained above. The only difference is that one will recite the following words twice after saying حَيَّ عَلٰى الْفَلَاحْ (hayya alal falaah):

اَلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِّنَ النَّوْمْ

Salaah is better than sleep.

عن محمد بن عبد الملك بن أبي محذورة عن أبيه عن جده قال قلت يا رسول الله علمني سنة الأذان … فإن كان صلاة الصبح قلت الصلاة خير من النوم الصلاة خير من النوم (سنن أبي داود، الرقم: 500)

Hazrat Abu Mahzoorah (radhiyallahu anhu) reports that on one occasion, he said to Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), “O Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), teach me the sunnah method of calling out the azaan.” … Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “If it is the azaan of Fajr, then add the words  اَلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِّنَ النَّوْمْ (assalaatu khairum minan nawm) twice (after حَيَّ عَلٰى الْفَلَاحْ – hayya alal falaah).”
