Repeat what the Mu'adhdhin says,
except for when he says
حَـيَّ
عَلـى
الصَّلاة
Hayya
'alas-Salaah
Hasten to
the prayer
and
حَـيَّ
عَلـى
الْفَـلاح
Hayya
'alal-Falaah
Hasten
to salvation.
Here you
should say
لا
حَـوْلَ
وَلا
قُـوَّةَ
إِلاّ بِِالله
Laa
hawla wa laa quwwata 'illaa billaah.
There is
no might and no power except by Allah.
Reference: Al-Bukhari
1/152, Muslim 1/288.
وَأَنا
أَشْـهَدُ
أَنْ لا
إِلـهَ
إِلاّ
اللهُ
وَحْـدَهُ
لا
شَـريكَ
لَـه ،
وَأَنَّ
محَمّـداً
عَبْـدُهُ
وَرَسـولُه

رَضيـتُ
بِاللهِ
رَبَّاً

Wa 'anaa 'ash-hadu 'an laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu
laa shareeka lahu wa 'anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa
Rasooluhu, radheetu billaahi Rabban, wa bi-Muhammadin
Rasoolan wa bil'islaami deenan.
I bear
witness that none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah alone, Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is
His slave and His Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as
my Lord, with Muhammad as my Messenger and with Islam as
my religion.1 [To be recited in Arabic after
the Mu'aththin’s Tashahhud or the words of
affirmation of Faith] 2
Reference:
1 Muslim 1/290.
2Ibn Khuzaymah 1/220.
24,25.
After
replying to the call of Mu'adhdhin, you should
recite in Arabic Allah's blessings on the Prophet
اللّهُـمَّ
رَبَّ
هَذِهِ
الدّعْـوَةِ
التّـامَّة
وَالصّلاةِ
القَـائِمَة
آتِ
محَـمَّداً
الوَسيـلةَ
وَالْفَضـيلَة
وَابْعَـثْه
مَقـامـاً
مَحْـمُوداً
الَّذي
وَعَـدْتَه
Allaahumma
Rabba haathihid-da 'watit-taammati
wassalaatil-qaa'imati, 'aati Muhammadanil-waseelata
walfadheelata, wab 'ath-hu maqaamam-mahmoodanil-lathee
wa'adtahu, ['innaka laa tukhliful-mee'aad]
O Allah ,
Lord of this perfect call and established prayer. Grant
Muhammad the intercession and favor, and raise him to
the honored station You have promised him, [verily You
do not neglect promises].
Reference:
Al-Bukhari 1/152, and the addition between brackets is
from Al-Bayhaqi 1/410 with a good (Hasan) chain of
narration. See 'Abdul-Azlz bin Baz's Tuhfatul-'Akhyar,
pg. 38.
Between the call to
prayer and the 'Iqamah (starting prayer), you should
supplicate Allah for yourself. Invocation during this
time is not rejected
