Having narrated this had?th -and another one similar to it- As-Sakhawi said: ‘All of these Ah?d?th are not authentically traced back to the prophet ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) ’. (1)
May All?h ( - عز وجل -) guide us and all Muslims to do that which pleases Him of good deeds. ’?min.
[10/ 23] Preceding the Mu’aththin when repeating the ’Ath?n after him:
Many muslims proceed the Mu’aththin in reciting the statements of ’Ath?n. For instance, when he says “All?hu ’Akbar, All?hu ’Akbar” at the end of the ’Ath?n, they immediately say “L? Il?h Ill? All?h” before he even says it. Consequently, they miss the reward of repeating the ’Ath?n after the Mu’aththin.
[11/ 23] It is of Sunnah when the Mu’aththin says the two Hai‘alahs to repeat the same then say: “La Hawla Wal? Quwwata Ill? Bill?h”. In order to put all the ah?d?th regarding this point under application for it is better than applying one and ignoring the other [;this is a great Fiqh principle]. Doing so, urges oneself to attend the Sal?t and at the same time freeing one self from one’s own ability. (2)
It is worth mentioning here that one should immediately repeat the ’Ath?n after the Mu’aththin; delaying doing so for along time causes one’s reward for loss. (3)
[12/ 23] Adding some phrases -which were not affirmed to be of Sunnah- [to the Du‘?’ recited] after the ’Ath?n such as: “Wad Darajatar Rafi‘ah” and “Ya Arhamar R?him?n”.

Commenting on “Mirq?tul Fal?h” and after relating this had?th from “Al-Firdaws”, At-Taht?w? said: ‘This was narrated from Al-Khadr and should be applied for it concerns good deeds”. At-Taht?w?s’s opinion is proofless for the ‘Ulamah of had?th judged this had?th forged. In addition to that, Shaikhul Isl?m said in “Minh?jus Sunnah” (vol. 3 / p. 17): ‘The book “Al-Firdaws” is full of many forged ah?d?th’.
