00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.099
The Everlasting Deeds

00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:08.859
The Everlasting Deeds of righteousness

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:13.289
The reward of the mu'adhdhins with their Lord

00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:18.289
On the authority of Mu'awiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:

00:00:18.289 --> 00:00:23.420
I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say:

00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:29.179
"The mu'adhdhins will have the longest necks of all people on the Day of Resurrection."

00:00:29.179 --> 00:00:31.910
Narrated by Muslim.

00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:38.909
This hadith highlights the elevated status and lofty rank of the mu'adhdhins on the Day of Resurrection,

00:00:38.909 --> 00:00:42.909
whether this is through their outward distinction,

00:00:42.909 --> 00:00:45.909
by having long necks so that people may recognize them,

00:00:45.909 --> 00:00:48.909
and so that they may be spared the terrors of that gathering,

00:00:48.909 --> 00:00:51.909
or through their spiritual distinction,

00:00:51.909 --> 00:00:55.909
which is manifested in the height of their ranks and their honor among all creation,

00:00:55.909 --> 00:00:58.909
as a reward for them having raised the remembrance of Allah,

00:00:58.909 --> 00:01:01.909
and for their calling of the servants to prayer.
