Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4808 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If I were
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ قَالَ : نَا جُنَادَةُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْأَزْدِيُّ الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ : نَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَوْ أَقْسَمْتُ لَبَرَرْتُ ، إِنَّ أَحَبَّ عِبَادِ اللهِ إِلَى اللهِ لَرُعَاةُ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ - يَعْنِي : الْمُؤَذِّنِينَ - ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيُعْرَفُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِطُولِ أَعْنَاقِهِمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to swear an oath, I would surely be true (in my oath): the most beloved of Allah's servants to Allah are those who watch over the sun and the moon" - meaning the mu'adhdhins (callers to prayer) - "and they will indeed be recognized on the Day of Resurrection by the length of their necks."
