Primary text

When proclaiming the start of the prayer (Iqamah), the Mu'adhin repeats the initial supplication, except that he then states: 'Qad qamat as-Salat' (The prayer has been established). This is derived from the narration concerning the beginning of the Adhan, where a man from the Ansar described seeing a man in green garments standing on the mosque, calling the Adhan, sitting briefly, and then standing again to proclaim the establishment of the prayer.
