There are three correct and commonly used wordings for the iqama, and the difference among them is the number of phrases.
The first one is that the iqama consists of seventeen phrases, which are the same phrases as in the adhan, with the addition of the phrase “qad qamatis-salah” (the prayer is about to begin) repeated twice. This is the view of the Hanafi School of law.
The second view is that the iqama consists of eleven phrases, with the takbir repeated twice and the phrase “qad qamatis-salah” repeated twice, while the rest of the phrases are said individually. This is the view of the Shafi’i and Hanbali schools of law.
The third view is that the iqama consists of ten phrases, with the takbir repeated twice and the rest of the phrases said individually, including the phrase “qad qamatis-salah”. This is the view of the Maliki School of law.
The reason for the difference in the number and wording of phrases in the iqama is due to the variation in the hadith narrations. One narration is from Abdullah bin Zaid, and the other narration is from Abu Mahdhurah, and both narrations are mentioned in the collection of Abu Dawud.
