The Call to Prayer and the Establishment of Prayer and the Reward of the Muezzins
وَ رَوَى عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا قُمْتَ إِلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ فَأَذِّنْ وَ أَقِمْ وَ اِفْصِلْ بَيْنَ اَلْأَذَانِ وَ اَلْإِقَامَةِ بِقُعُودٍ أَوْ بِكَلاَمٍ أَوْ تَسْبِيحٍ» وَقَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ كَمِ اَلَّذِي يُجْزِي بَيْنَ اَلْأَذَانِ وَ اَلْإِقَامَةِ مِنَ اَلْقَوْلِ قَالَ «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ.
It is narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام by 'Ammar al-Sabati that He said: "When you stand for a mandatory prayer, give the adhan and the iqamah, and separate between the adhan and the iqamah with sitting, speaking, or tasbih (glorification of Allah سبحانه وتعالى)." He (Ammar) asked: "What is the minimum that suffices between the adhan and the iqamah in terms of speech?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Saying 'Alhamdulillah' (All praise belongs to Allah سبحانه وتعالى)."
