(said four times)
Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
(said two times)
Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasool Allah
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
(said two times)
Hayya 'ala-s-Salah
Hurry to the prayer (Rise up for prayer)

DISCIPLINES
a. ON HEARING THE AZAN:
1. Stop doing and avoid starting any work even reading Quran.
2. If you were reading Quran,stop reading and close the Quran.


Dua to be recited on hearing the azan:

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَاً عَبْدَهُ وَرَسُولَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَاً عَبْدَهُ وَرَسُولَهُ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبَّاً وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولَاً وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينَاً

"I testify that there is no one worthy of worship besides Allah. He is all by Himself and has no partner and I testify that Muhammad (S.A.W.) is His servant and Rasul. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Muhammad (S.A.W.) as my Rasul and Islam as my Deen.

Hadith Muslim Mishkaath : Whoever recites the dua above on hearing the azan will gets his sins Forgiven.Also, Whoever answers the azan will have Paradise.

Note: Answering the Azan is repeating the same as recited by the Muathin.But, instead of 'Hayya Alas-salah-hayya Alal Balah' we have to say 'La-Hawlaa Walaa-Kuvvatha Illa Billahil Aliyul Aleem' 

b. WHEN THE AZAN IS OVER:
Dua to be recited when the azan is over:
Allahuma Rabba Haadihith Thahvathe Thamathe Vaswalaathil Qayimathe Aathe Muhammadinil Waseelatha Wafaleelatha Wabhashu Maqamam Mahmooda Nilladhi Wa Ad-thahu Innaka Laa ThuhLiful Meehaadh. 
Meaning:Ya Allah! The Owner of this fulfilled (holy) calling and everlasting prayer, Grant Muhammad(pbuh) his greatness.Also, as YOU promised 'Magaamam Mahmoodi' rise Muhammad(pbuh) from it.In the Day of Judgement grant us Muhammad's(pbuh) recommendation.I testify YOU wont let go the promise.

Note: It is best to read Ayatul Qursi after the Azan Dua.

Speciality:It has become the duty of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to recommend Whoever recites the above dua after the azan is over in the day of judgement.
