Hadith 728

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."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
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.
