@voiceof51214: Adhan and Iqamah Are from the Sunnah—Even for One Praying Alone This speech highlights an often-overlooked Sunnah: a Muslim praying alone should not neglect the Adhan and especially the Iqamah before offering the obligatory prayer. While praying in congregation, one Adhan and one Iqamah suffice for the entire congregation. However, when praying individually, many scholars recommended calling the Adhan (if possible) and certainly establishing the prayer with the Iqamah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ praised the shepherd who, while alone in the wilderness, called the Adhan, then the Iqamah, and performed the prayer. Allah ﷻ boasts of such a servant before the angels, and angels line up behind him in prayer. If he calls only the Iqamah, angels still pray behind him.

These reports are transmitted as Athar (reports from the Companions) rather than authentic Prophetic (marfu') hadith. Athar References: • Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah — Vol. 1, p. 203 (edition-dependent numbering) • Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq — Hadith 1955 (numbering may vary by edition) Some early scholars (Tabi'un) considered abandoning the Iqamah to be a serious neglect of the Sunnah, although the majority of jurists regarded it as a highly emphasized Sunnah rather than a condition for the validity of Salah. The message encourages Muslims to revive this forgotten Sunnah and to establish every obligatory prayer with dignity, preparation, and remembrance of Allah. ﷺ Allahumma Salli 'Ala Muhammad Wa 'Ala Aali Muhammad Voice of AHLULBAIT
