The Enduring Good Deeds:
The Reward of Establishing the Prayer.
On the authority of 'Amr ibn al-Harith,
that Abu 'Ushanah al-Ma'afiri
narrated to him from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:
"Your Lord is delighted by a shepherd
atop the peak of a mountain crag,
who calls the adhan for prayer and then prays."
So Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says:
"Look at this servant of Mine!
He calls the adhan and establishes the prayer,
fearing Me.
I have indeed forgiven My servant and admitted him into Paradise."
Narrated by Abu Dawud.
