FIQH 1.98: AZHAN, AT-TATHWEEB: (SAYING “PRAYER IS BETTER THAN SLEEP” IN THE MORNING AZHAN).
It is part of the shari’ah that the caller to prayer say, “as-salaatu khairun min an-naum (prayer is better than sleep) in the morning azhan. Abu Mahzhurah asked the Prophet, upon whom be peace, to teach him the azhan, and he told him, “If it is the morning azhan, say, as-salaatu khairun min an-naum, as-salaatu khariun min annaum. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. La illaha illal-lah.” (Related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud. ) It is to be said only in the morning azhan.
Fiqh 1.98 a: Iqamah
There are three ways to perform the iqamah:
1. Saying the first takbir four times and everything else twice, with the exception of the last statement of la ilaha illal-lah. Abu Mahzhura said that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, taught him the iqamah consisting of seventeen phrases: Allahu akbar (4 times), ashhadu alla ilaha illal-lah (twice), ashhadu anna Muhammad arRasool-lal-lah (twice), hayya ‘alas-salah (twice), hayya ‘alal-falah (twice), qad qaamatis-salah (twice), Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. La ilaha illal-lah. This is related by “the five.” At-Tirmidhi grades it.
2. To say the beginning and ending takbir, and the phrase qad qaamatus-salah twice. Everything else is to be said once, making eleven phrases. This is based on the preceding hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn Zaid: “When you stand for the prayer, say “Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Ashhadu alla illaha illal-lah, ashhadu anna Muhammad ar-RasoolAllah. Hayya ‘alas-salah, hayya ‘alal-falah. Qad qaamat-issalah, qad qaamatis-salah. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. La illaha illal-lah.
3. The same as in the preceding, but Qad qaamatus-salah is said only once, making a total of ten phrases. Imam Malik chose this way, because he found the people of Madinah performing it thus. But says Ibn al-Qayyim, “It is not proven that the Messenger of Allah ever said ‘Qad qaamatus-salah’ only once.” Ibn ‘Abdul-Barr is of the view, “In every case, it is said twice.”
