الإِقَامَةُ وَاحِدَةٌ، إِلاَّ قَوْلَهُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ

The iqamah is said singly, except the words “The prayer has begun”

أُمِرَ بِلاَلٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ، الأَذَانَ، وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ. قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَذَكَرْتُ لأَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ إِلاَّ الإِقَامَةَ.

Translation

Anas ibn Malik reported: Bilal was commanded to say the adhan in pairs and the iqamah singly. Isma'il said: I mentioned this to Ayyub, and he said, “Except (the words of) the iqamah.”

Translator’s note: Isma'il (ibn Ulayyah) and Ayyub (as-Sakhtiyani) are narrators in this chain. The phrase meant is “The prayer has begun”, which is said twice.
