Is the call to iqama the same as in adhan or it is different? I have recently read a hadith from Riyadh saleheen which says, in calling iqama the takbeerat, tashahudat and so on are all called once.

Answer

According to the Hanafi Madhab, the words of Iqaamat are same as the Adhaan, with the addition of 'Qad qaamatis salaat' twice after 'Hayya alal falaah'.

This is substantiated by various Ahaadith found in the different books of Hadith. Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Zayd (Radhiallaahu Anhu) said that the (word in) Adhaan and Iqaamat of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to be in pairs (doubles).' (Tirmidhi pg.48; HM Saeed). However, the Ahaadith that state the words of Iqaamat are called once only are also correct and is the view of Imaam Ahmad, Maaliki and Shaafi'ee (RA) (Dars-e-Tirmidhi vol.1 pg.457)
