Sunnats and Aadaab of Azaan and Iqaamah – Part 16

Replying to the Iqaamah

Reply to the iqaamah in the same way that you reply to the azaan. However, when replying to قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلاَهْ (qad qaamatis salaah) then say:

أَقَامَهَا اللهُ وَأَدَامَهَا

May Allah Ta’ala establish it (salaah) and preserve it.

عن أبي أمامة أو بعض أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن بلالا أخذ في الإقامة فلما أن قال قد قامت الصلاة قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أقامها الله وأدامها (سنن أبي داود، الرقم: 528)

Hazrat Abu Umaamah (radhiyallahu anhu) or another Sahaabi reports that on one occasion, Hazrat Bilaal (radhiyallahu anhu) was calling out the iqaamah. When he reached the words قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلاَهْ (qad qaamatis salaah), Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied by saying أَقَامَهَا اللهُ وَأَدَامَهَا (aqaamahallaahu wa adaamahaa).
