اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنِ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَذَّنَ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً ، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ ، وَكُتِبَ لَهُ بِتَأْذِينِهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سِتُّونَ حَسَنَةً ، وَلِكُلِّ إِقَامَةٍ ثَلَاثُونَ حَسَنَةً " .
´It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that:` The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever calls the Adhan for twelve years, he will be guaranteed Paradise, and for each day sixty Hasanat (good deeds) will be recorded for him by virtue of his Adhan, and thirty Hasanat by virtue of his Iqamah."
Brief Explanation
1؎: In the previous hadith, there is mention of seven years, and here twelve years are mentioned—there is no contradiction between the two. Because when one attains freedom from Hell by calling the adhan (call to prayer) for seven years, then by calling the adhan for twelve years, Paradise will certainly be attained, insha Allah. And some have said that seven years are sufficient if done with sincerity of intention, and twelve years are sufficient in every way, even if the intention is not perfectly pure. And Allah knows best.
Explanation & Benefits

Benefit:
To regularly give the call to prayer (adhan) solely for the pleasure of Allah is a difficult task, which can only be accomplished by a person whose heart contains faith. To fulfill this responsibility continuously for twelve years is indeed a matter of great perseverance, which is not possible without the special guidance (tawfiq) of Allah Ta'ala. Therefore, this great glad tidings has been given for the one who performs this duty.
According to some, this narration is authentic.
