Chapter 32
Remembrance 1 from Chapter 32
The du‘ā’ to be said during the iqāmah
Context
IMĀM ASH-SHĀFI‘Ī NARRATES in al-Umm a hadith with an isnād that is mursal, according to which the Messenger of Allah 
said: “Seek acceptance of du‘ā’ when armies meet, when the iqāmah for ṣalāh has been called, and when rain falls.” Ash-Shāfi‘ī said: “I have memorised from more than one person [reports enjoining] the seeking of acceptance when rain falls and at the time of the iqāmah for ṣalāh.” [1].
