RESPONDING TO ADHAN

To show respect for adhan, one should keep
as quiet as possible while the call is being given;

and it has been emphasized by our Holy and blessed

Prophet that each word of adhan should be
responded to, i.e. the hearer should repeat each word that the giver of the call utters. However when


حي على الصلاة
حي على الفلاح

and are said, the responder should say

لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله

 And in the fajr prayer when the giver of the call says

الصلاة خير من النوم

 one should respond with

صدقت وبررت

Abdullah ibn Omar has relates that our blessed Prophet said as follow: "When you hear azan, repeat the words  after the muazzin then send darud unto me because on him who sends one darud unto me Allah sends ten  mercies. Then pray for "Vaseela" for me because that is a stage of the Paradise which is reserved for only one of Allah's bond men and I hope it will be me who shall get it. Thus he who prays for Vaseela for me shall have right to my inter ceasing for Divine pardon." (Sahih Muslim) 

It is because of this that our blessed Prophet has taught us a prayer which includes prayer Vaseela

اللهم رب هذه الدعوه التاامه والصلاه الاقائمه اتي محمد الوسيله والفضيله وابعثه مقااما محمودا الذيوعدته انك لاتخلف الميعاد

Jabir relates that our blessed Prophet has said that whosoever recited this prayer after adhan would be  assured of our Prophet's intercession on the day of Judqement (BuMari).
