Scholars have differed regarding the recommendation of repeating after the muqim (one who calls the ).

The general rule for the (call to prayer) and iqamah is to say "the same as what the mu'adhin says," except for "Ḥayya ‘alaṣ-ṣalāh" (Hurry to the prayer) and "Ḥayya ‘alal-falāḥ" (Hurry to success), for which one says: "Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh" (There is no might or power except with Allah).
