Q: O Noble Sheikh, when the mu’athin makes the call for salaatul Subh saying 

“As-Salaatu Khayran Minal Nawm” (Prayer is better than sleep). What should those who 

are listening say at this particular time? 

A: All praise be to Allah, may the prayers and peace  be upon the messenger of 

Allah and his family and companions. 

To proceed : 

It is preferred that everyone who hears the call to prayer, to repeat what the mu’athin 

says. He will get the same reward. As for the saying “As-Salaatu Khayran Minal Nawm” 

Then its upon those who hear it to repeat what the mu’athin says, “As-Salaatu Khayran 

Minal Nawm” and Allah knows best.
