The ruling on the mu'adhin saying after the adhan: "Allahumma salli 'ala sayyidina Muhammad.."
Original (Arabic): https://binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/36/حكم-قول-الموذن-بعد-الاذان-اللهم-صل-على-سيدنا-محمد
Question: What some people in our country Jordan and in some other countries do, namely the muezzin saying after the adhan:Is there anything wrong in that? And what is its ruling?
اللهم صل علي سيدنا محمد وعلي آله وصحبه أجمعين
Allahumma salli ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in
O Allah, send prayers upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and companions altogether.
Answer: This matter requires elaboration: if the muadhin says that in a lowered voice, then that is prescribed for the muadhin and for others who respond to the muadhin; because the Prophet ﷺ said: When you hear the mu'adhdhin, say the like of what he says, then send prayers upon me, for whoever sends a prayer upon me once, Allah sends ten prayers upon him because of it. Then ask Allah for the wasilah for me, for it is a station in Paradise which is not fitting except for one servant among the servants of Allah, and I hope that I am he. So whoever asks the wasilah for me, intercession becomes permissible for him. Recorded by Muslim in his Sahih, and al-Bukhari related in his Sahih from Jabir ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said ﷺ: Whoever says, when he hears the call (adhan):My intercession shall be granted to him on the Day of Resurrection. As for if the muezzin says that raising his voice like the adhan, then that is an innovation, because it gives the impression that it is part of the adhan, and adding to the adhan is not permissible, because the last part of the adhan is the phrase "La ilaha illallah," so it is not permissible to add anything beyond that. Had that been good, the righteous predecessors would have preceded others to it; rather, the Prophet would have taught it ﷺ his ummah and prescribed it for them, and he ﷺ said: Whoever does a deed that is not in accordance with our matter, it is rejected. Narrated by Muslim in his Sahih, and its origin is in the two Sahihs from the hadith of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her.
And I ask Allah, glorified is He, to increase us and you and all our brothers in understanding of His religion, and to bless us all with steadfastness upon it. Indeed, He is All-Hearing, Ever-Near. Was-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.[1].
اللهم رب هذه الدعوة التامة والصلاة القائمة آت محمداً الوسيلة والفضيلة وابعثه مقاما محموداً الذي وعدته
Allahumma rabba hadhihi al-da'wati al-tammati wa al-salati al-qa'imati ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wa al-fadilata wab'athhu maqaman mahmudan alladhi wa'adtahu
O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and this established salah, grant Muhammad the intercession and the virtue, and raise him to the praiseworthy station which You have promised him
And I ask Allah, glorified is He, to increase us and you and all our brothers in understanding of His religion, and to bless us all with steadfastness upon it. Indeed, He is All-Hearing, Ever-Near. Was-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.[1].
