• Forgiveness has been declared for the mu’azzin, and glad tidings have been given for them earning the reward of all those who respond to salaah on account of their call.
عن البراء بن عازب أن نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إن الله وملائكته يصلون على الصف المقدم والمؤذن يغفر له بمد صوته ويصدقه من سمعه من رطب ويابس وله مثل أجر من صلى معه (سنن النسائي #645)
Hazrat Baraa bin ‘Aazib (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Certainly Allah Ta‘ala showers His special mercy upon those in the first saff and the angels make special du‘aa for them. The mu’azzin will receive forgiveness from Allah Ta‘ala for the distance his voice covers (i.e. if assumingly he possessed so many sins that can cover the area from the place he calls out the azaan till the furthest point his voice reaches, all those sins will be forgiven. Some explain that for the duration of time it takes for his voice to reach the furthest point means that he receives forgiveness from Allah Ta‘ala for that amount of time in his life where sins were committed). And every creature, whether possessing life or not, will bear testimony on his behalf (on the day of Qiyaamah), and he will receive the reward of all those people who performed salaah with him (i.e. all those people who responded to salaah on account of his call).
