De one unique line insyd de iqama, buh no be adhan, be qad qāmati ṣ-ṣalāhtu, de announcement "de prayer be established", i.e., be about to commence. Dem dey state am just before de opening allāhu akbaru, de formal start of prayer.[3]
De Hanafi den Shia schools both dey use de same number of repetitions insyd both de adhan den iqama, contrary to all de oda schools.[1][4]
Unlike de oda schools, de Maliki school dey recommend qad qāmati ṣ-ṣalāhtu to be said once per. Dis be based on de practice of de people of Medina during Malik ibn Anas ein time.[5]

As for the iqama, Malik, al-Shafi'i, and Ahmad said the phrases should be said once, but Ahmad said saying them twice is also legislated. All three of them—Abu Hanifa, al-Shafi'i, and Ahmad—preferred to say qad qāmati ṣ-ṣalāhtu twice, but Malik did not. And God knows best.
