Supplication between the Adhān (call to prayer) and the Iqāmah (second call to prayer) is not rejected

Narrated by Abu Dāwūd, At-Tirmidhi, and An-Nasā’i · Authentic

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الدُّعَاءُ لاَ يُرَدُّ بَيْنَ الأَذَانِ وَالإِقَامَةِ».

“Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Supplication between the Adhān (call to prayer) and the Iqāmah (second call to prayer) is not rejected."”

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out the merit of supplication between the Adhān and the Iqāmah and that it is not rejected and is worthy to be answered, so supplicate Allah during such a time.

Benefits

• The merit of this time in terms of supplication.
• If the supplicator adopts the proper manners of supplication, seeks its superior places and times, refrains from disobeying Allah, is cautious about falling into suspicious matters and doubt, and has good expectations of Allah, then his supplication is worthy of being answered, Allah willing.
• Al-Munāwi said about answering supplications: This means: After one fulfills all of the conditions, pillars, and manners of supplication, and if he fails to fulfill anything thereof, then he should blame none but himself.
• Answering the supplication: Either one's supplication is promptly fulfilled, or an evil similar to it is diverted from him, or it is stored for him in the Hereafter, and all this depends on the wisdom and mercy of Allah.
