Bayhaqi 2037 — Encouragement to give the adhan

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ أَبُو الشَّيْخِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: مَعْنَى قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْمُؤَذِّنُونَ أَطْوَلُ النَّاسِ أَعْنَاقًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " لَيْسَ أَنَّ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ تَطُولُ وَذَلِكَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَعْطَشُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَإِذَا عَطِشَ الْإِنْسَانُ انْطَوَتْ عُنُقُهُ وَالْمُؤَذِّنُونُ لَا يَعْطَشُونَ فَأَعْنَاقُهُمْ قَائِمَةٌ ".
Abu Bakr bin Abi Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard my father, explaining the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "On the Day of Resurrection the muezzins will have long necks," say: It does not mean that their necks will be long. Rather, it is that on the Day of Resurrection people will be thirsty, and when a person is thirsty his neck folds over, but the muezzins will not be thirsty, so their necks will remain upright.
