Hadith Q364

إِذِ الْأَذَانُ قَائِمًا أَحْرَى أَنْ يَسْمَعَهُ مَنْ بَعُدَ عَنِ الْمُؤَذِّنِ مِنْ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ‏.‏
Because by giving the adhan while standing, even a person far from the mu’adhdhin can hear the adhan well, whereas this benefit cannot be achieved by giving the adhan while sitting.
