Hadith 678

أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمِقْسَمِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، قال ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَنَّ عِيسَى بْنَ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ ، قال : إِنِّي عِنْدَ مُعَاوِيَةَ إِذْ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُهُ ، فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ كَمَا قَالَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَالَ : " حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، فَلَمَّا قَالَ : حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ ، قَالَ : لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، وَقَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَا قَالَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ .
´It was narrated that 'Alqamah bin Waqqas said:` "I was with Mu'awiyah when the Mu'adhdhin called the Adhan. Muawiyah said what the Mu'adhdhin said, but when he said: 'Hayya 'alas-salah (come to prayer),' he said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah);' and when he said: 'Hayya 'alal-falah (come to prosperity),' he said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).' After that he said what the Mu'adhdhin said, then he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) saying exactly like that.'"

Hadith Commentary:
From this hadith, the recommendation (istihbab) for the imam and the khatib to respond to the adhan is understood; other people should also respond to the adhan. It is also evident that even if the imam is seated on the pulpit (minbar), the process of teaching and learning may continue.

In addition, the response to the two testimonies (shahadatayn) can also be given in the first person pronoun. Accordingly, Imam Ibn Hibban rahimahullah has established a separate chapter regarding this in his Sahih.
