مَا يُقَالُ عِنْدَ سَمَاعِ الْأَذَانِ
يَقُولُ مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِلَّا فِي "حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَحَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ" فَيَقُولُ: "لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ".
What to say when hearing the call to prayer

Repeat what the caller says, except when he says ‘Come to prayer’ and ‘Come to success’; then say: ‘There is no power or strength except through Allah.’
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَسْمَعُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا ، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا ، غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ .
Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Whoever says upon hearing the caller to prayer: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as my Messenger, and with Islam as my religion—his sins will be forgiven.’ Narrated by Muslim.
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : "إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ النِّدَاءَ فَقُولُوا مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ ، ثُمَّ صَلُّوا عَلَيَّ ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْرًا ، ثُمَّ سَلُوا اللَّهَ لِيَ الْوَسِيلَةَ ، فَإِنَّهَا مَنْزِلَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَا تَنْبَغِي إِلَّا لِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا هُوَ ، فَمَنْ سَأَلَ لِيَ الْوَسِيلَةَ حَلَّتْ لَهُ الشَّفَاعَةُ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ .
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn Al-‘As, may Allah be pleased with them both, heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: ‘When you hear the call, repeat what the caller says, then send blessings upon me. Whoever sends one blessing upon me, Allah sends ten blessings upon him for it. Then ask Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah, a station in Paradise fitting only one of Allah's servants, and I hope to be that servant. Whoever asks Al-Wasilah for me will be entitled to intercession.’ Narrated by Muslim.
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : "مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ : اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ ، وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ ، حَلَّتْ لَهُ شَفَاعَتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ" .رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ .
Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Whoever says upon hearing the call: O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer that is to be established, grant Muhammad the highest station of intercession and excellence, and raise him to the praised station You have promised him—my intercession will be due to him on the Day of Resurrection.’ Narrated by Al-Bukhari.
مَا يُقَالُ بَعْدَ سَمَاعِ الْأَذَانِ
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ.
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ، إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ.
What to say after hearing the adhan

O Allah, send peace and blessings upon our master Muhammad.

O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer that is to be established, grant Muhammad the highest station of intercession and excellence, and raise him to the praised station You promised him. You never fail in Your promise.
مَا يُقَالُ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ
مَا بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ فَالدُّعَاءُ عِنْدَئِذٍ مُرَغَّبٌ فِيهِ وَمُسْتَحَبٌّ.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الدُّعَاءُ لَا يُرَدُّ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ".
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ لَا يُرَدُّ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ فَادْعُوا".
What to say between the adhan and the iqamah

Supplication between the adhan and the iqamah is encouraged and recommended.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Supplication is not rejected between the adhan and the iqamah.’

He also said: ‘Supplication is not rejected between the adhan and the iqamah, so supplicate.’
