Virtue of giving adhan for the sake of Allah's pleasure
Hadith 203
اَخْبَرَنَا اَحْمَدُ بْنُ اَیُّوْبَ الضَّبِّی، عَنْ اَبِیْ حَمْزَةَ،َ عَنْ جَابِرٍٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ رَّسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَنْ اَذَّنَ سَبْعَ سِنِیْنَ مُحْتَسِبًا، کُتِبَتْ لَهٗ بَرَاءَةٌ مِّنَ النَّارِ.
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever gives the call to prayer (adhan) for seven years seeking reward for the sake of Allah, freedom from Hell will be written for him."
Hadith 204
قَالَ جَابِرٌ: وَقَالَ عَامِرٌ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ اَبِیْ وَقَّاصٍ، اَنَّهٗ قَالَ: لَاَنْ اَقْوٰی عَلَی الْاَذَانِ مُحْتَسِبًا اَحَبُّ اِلَیَّ مِنَ الْجِهَادِ، وَالْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: To have the ability to call the adhan with the intention of reward for the sake of Allah’s pleasure is more beloved to me than jihad, Hajj, and ‘Umrah.
