Sunnis follow along silently to this practice except at a phrase meaning “hasten to success.” Since 2018, Egypt has enforced a standardized version (10[1])of this practice in Cairo, which is popularly done in maqāms like ḥijāz (-5[1])or bayātī. A popular 1990s recording (10[1])of this practice widely used in television was made by (10[1])Ali Ahmed Mullah (10[1])at the Masjid al-Ḥarām. Two rakat are said between this practice (-5[1])and the largely similar iqāma, (-5[1])which both begin with the takbīr and shahāda.
