qad qamati as-salahadhaniqama

The iqama announces the actual start of the prayer. It is a strongly recommended sunna for every obligatory prayer, whether on time or made up, even for someone praying alone. Its phrases are said once, except the takbir. In the Maliki school, the well-known view is to say qad qamati-s-salah once.
