It is recommended for the one who hears the to repeat what the Muezzin says, then to send prayers upon the Prophet (peace be upon him). It is not from the to say, "Allah, the Most High, has spoken the truth," in response to the Muezzin. Rather, it is an added innovation, because (remembrance of Allah) is not prescribed to be restricted by a specific time, place, or number, in a way that makes it Sunnah, except with evidence.
