وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «لِلْمُؤَذِّنِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ اَلْأَذَانِ وَ اَلْإِقَامَةِ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ اَلشَّهِيدِ اَلْمُتَشَحِّطِ بِدَمِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ» فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «إِنَّهُمْ يَجْتَلِدُونَ عَلَى اَلْأَذَانِ» فَقَالَ «كَلاَّ إِنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَى اَلنَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَطْرَحُونَ اَلْأَذَانَ عَلَى ضُعَفَائِهِمْ فَتِلْكَ لُحُومٌ حَرَّمَهَا اَللَّهُ عَلَى اَلنَّارِ.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "The mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) has a reward between the adhan and the iqamah equal to that of a martyr who is drenched in his blood in the way of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic." Imam Ali (a.s) said: "People will compete over the adhan." The Prophet replied: "No, there will come a time when people will leave the adhan to their weak ones. These (mu'adhdhins) are people whose flesh Allah (swt) has forbidden for the Fire”.
