Fathwa, - Supplication after Athaanand Iqaamah to Grant the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, Al-Waseelah and Al-Fadheelah

Question
Should the reported supplication of Al-Waseelah (i.e. the highest rank
in Paradise) and Al-Fadheelah (i.e. Superiority) for the Prophet , be
recited after the Athaan, Iqaamah or both? What isthe ruling on this
matter according to the four schools of Fiqh ?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
isHis slave and Messenger.
Asking Allaah The Exalted to Grant the Prophet , Al-Waseelah and
Al-Fadheelah after the Athaan is required and recommended. Jaabir
ibn'Abdullaah reported that the Prophet , said:" Whoever says (after)
hearing the Athaan, 'Allahumma Rabba hathihi Ad-Da'wati At-Taammah wa
As-Salaati Al-Qaa'imah, aati Muhammadan Al-Waseelata wa Al-Fadheelah,
wab'ath-huMaqaaman Mahmoodan Al-lathi Wa'adtah.' (O Allaah, Lord of
this perfect call (i.e. Monotheism) and of the current prayer (which
is about to start) Grant Muhammad Al-Waseelah and superior status over
all creatures and raise him to the station of praise and glory (i.e.
the highest degree in Paradise) that You Promised him)', then
intercession for me will be permitted for him on the Day of
Resurrection. " [Al-Bukhaari and others]
' Abdullaah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet , said: " When you hear
the Athaan, repeat what the Mu'ath-thin says. Then ask Allaah The
Exalted to Exalt my mention because everyone who does so will receive
in return ten rewards from Allaah. Then beseech Allaah to Grant me
Al-Waseelah, which is a high rank in Paradise. " [Muslim and others]
These narrations underline the permissibility of asking Allaah The
Exalted to Grant the Prophet , Al-Waseelah and superiorstatus over all
creatures after the Athaan and the Iqaamah as well; as both of them
are considered a call to prayer.
As for the different opinions in the four schools of Fiqh, they did
not differ about the permissibility of making this supplication after
theAthaan; due to the many clear narrations that were reported in this
regard.
As for making this supplication after the Iqaamah, what is apparently
deduced fromthe statements of the Hanafi, Shaafi'i and Hanbali schools
of Fiqh is that what is required of one who listens to the Athaan is
no different than what is required of one who listens to the Iqaamah.
Concerning the Maaliki school of Fiqh, wecould not find a stated
opinion for it with regards to the Iqaamah.
Allaah Knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
