Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 2359 — The virtue of the adhan and its reward
٢٣٥٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا ابن عليه عن هشام عن يحيى قال: حدثت أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال: "لَوْ عَلمَ النَّاسُ مَا في الأَذانِ (لَتَجَارُّوهُ) (١) "، قال: وكان يقال: ابتدروا الأذان ولا تبتدروا (الإمامة) (٢) (٣).
Yahya said: I was told that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people knew what there is in the adhan, they would contend with one another for it." He said: It used to be said: Hasten to the adhan, but do not strive too eagerly for the imamate.
