REWARD FOR PRONOUNCING THE ADHAN AND FOR STANDING IN THE FIRST ROW (IN CONGREGATIONAL PRAYERS)

Sahih al-Bukhari, Call to Prayers (Adhaan)
Book 10, Hadith 9
Narrated 'Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said, "Whenever you hear the Adhan, say what the Mu'adh-dhin is saying.

Sahih al-Bukhari, Call to Prayers (Adhaan)
Book 10, Hadith 12
Narrated 'Jabir bin `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said, "Whoever after listening to the Adhan says, 'Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-dda` watit-tammah, was-salatil qa'imah, ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wal-fadilah, wa b`ath-hu maqaman mahmudan-il-ladhi wa`adtahu' [O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (perfect by not ascribing partners to You) and of the regular prayer which is going to be established, give Muhammad the right of intercession and illustriousness, and resurrect him to the best and the highest place in Paradise that You promised him (of)], then my intercession for him will be allowed on the Day of Resurrection".

Sahih al-Bukhari, Call to Prayers (Adhaan)
Book 10, Hadith 13
Narrated 'Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said, "If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the Adhan and for standing in the first row (in congregational prayers) and found no other way to get that except by drawing lots they would draw lots, and if they knew the reward of the Zuhr prayer (in the early moments of its stated time) they would race for it (go early) and if they knew the reward of `Isha' and Fajr (morning) prayers in congregation, they would come to offer them even if they had to crawl."

So Brothers and Sisters in Islam let us encourage ourselves in doing what is right and rewarded by ALLAH, may ALLAH accept it all as an act of IBADAH. Amen.
