Majma al-Zawaid 1842 — The virtue of the adhan

وَعَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : عَلِّمْنِي أَوْ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ . قَالَ : " كُنْ مُؤَذِّنًا " . قَالَ : لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ . قَالَ : " كُنْ إِمَامًا " . قَالَ : لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ . قَالَ : " فَقُمْ بِإِزَاءِ الْإِمَامِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الضَّبِّيُّ ، وَهُوَ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me" (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) "guide me to a deed that will make me enter Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Become a mu'adhdhin." He said: "I am not able to do that." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Become an imam." He said: "I am not able to do that." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then stand right behind the imam!"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Muhammad bin Isma'il al-Dabbi, and he is munkar al-hadith (his hadith are rejected).
