حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَسُبُّوا الدِّيكَ ، فَإِنَّهُ يُوقِظُ لِلصَّلَاةِ " .
Narrated Zayd ibn Khalid: The Prophet ﷺ said: Do not curse the cock, for it awakens for prayer.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The rooster received this honor and dignity because it awakens people for prayer.
Therefore, the honor and respect of the mosque’s muezzin, imam, and the scholars of religion should be even greater.

However, at the same time, it is even more incumbent upon these individuals, as callers to goodness and inheritors of the Prophet, to safeguard this distinction to the utmost and to protect themselves as much as possible from matters contrary to the Shariah.
And success is from Allah.
