Supplications related to the athan (the call to prayer)

[‘One repeats just as the mu-aththin (one who calls to prayer) says, except when he says:

حَـيَّ عَلـى الصَّلاة (أَو) حَـيَّ عَلـى الْفَـلاح.

Hayya AAalas-salah (or) hayya AAalal-falah

‘come to prayer, come to success’instead, one should say:
 لا حَـوْلَ وَلا قُـوَّةَ إِلاّ بِالله.

La hawla wala quwwata illa billah.

‘There is no might nor power except with Allah.’

, Immediately following the declaration of faith called by the mu-aththin, one says:

وَأَنا أَشْـهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ اللهُ وَحْـدَهُ لا شَـريكَ لَـه، وَأَنَّ محَمّـداً عَبْـدُهُ وَرَسـولُه، رَضيـتُ بِاللهِ رَبَّاً، وَبِمُحَمَّـدٍ رَسـولاً وَبِالإِسْلامِ دينَـاً.

Wa-ana ashhadu an la ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, wa-anna Muhammadan AAabduhu warasooluh, radeetu billahi rabban wabimuhammadin rasoolan wabil-islami deena.

‘And I too bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His salve and Messenger.I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, and Muhammad as a Messenger and Islam as a religion.’

, ‘One should then send prayers on the Prophet (saws) after answering the call of the mu-aththin’, اللّهُـمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدّعْـوَةِ التّـامَّة وَالصّلاةِ القَـائِمَة آتِ محَـمَّداً الوَسيـلةَ وَالْفَضـيلَة وَابْعَـثْه مَقـامـاً مَحـموداً الَّذي وَعَـدْتَه إِنَّـكَ لا تُـخْلِفُ الميـعاد.

 Allahumma rabba hathihid-daAAwatit-tammah, wassalatil-qa-imah ati Muhammadan alwaseelata wal-fadeelah, wabAAath-hu maqaman mahmoodan allathee waAAadtah, innaka la tukhliful-meeAAad.

‘O Allah, Owner of this perfect call and Owner of this prayer to be performed, bestow upon Muhammad al-waseelah and al-fadeelah and send him upon a praised platform which You have promised him.Verily, You never fail in Your promise.’al-waseelah: A station in paradise.al-fadeelah: A rank above the rest of creation.praised platform: One in which all of creation will praise him on, in order to bring about the account quickly and be relieved from the lengthy standing or the role of intercession.

, One should also supplicate for himself during the time between the athan and the iqamah as supplication at such time is not rejected.]
