brothers are the ones who will come after (us)." They said, "How will you know the people of our nation who will come
after you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "If a man has a group of horses with white forelocks amidst a group of
horses with black forelocks, will he recognize his horses?" They said, "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah." He said,
"They (my brothers) will come with white streaks from their ablutions, and I will receive them at my cistern. But there
will be some who will be driven away from my cistern as a stray camel is driven away. I will call them to come. It will
be said, 'They changed matters after you,' then I will say, 'Be off, be off."' (Related by Muslim.)

Adhan, its Virtues and Excellence
Many hadith describe the virtues of the adhan and the one who calls it. Such hadith include the following:
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet said, "If the people knew what was in the adhan and the first row (of the prayer in
virtue), and that they could not get it save by drawing lots, they would draw lots. If they knew the reward for praying the noon
prayer early in its time, they would race to it. And if they knew the reward for the night and the morning prayers in
congregation, they would come to them even if they had to crawl . " (Related by al-Bukhari and others. )
Mu'awiyyah reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "The callers to prayer will have the longest necks of all
people on the Day of Resurrection." (Related by Ahmad, Muslim, and Ibn Majah.)
Al-Barra' ibn 'Aazib reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "Allah and His angels pray upon those in the first
rows. And the caller to prayer is forgiven, for as far as his voice reaches and whoever hears him will confirm what he says.
He will get a reward similar to those who pray with him." This hadith is related by Ahmad and an-Nasa'i. Al-Mundhiri says its
chain is good.
Abu ad-Darda' reported that he heard the Prophet, upon whom be peace, say, "If three people do not make the adhan and
establish the prayer among themselves, Satan gains mastery over them." (Related by Ahmad.)
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "The imam is a guarantor, and the caller to prayer is one
who is given the trust. O Allah, guide the imam and forgive the caller to prayer."
'Uqbah ibn 'Aamar said he heard the Prophet, upon whom be peace, say, "Your Lord, the Exalted, is amazed (and pleased)
by one who is watching sheep in his pasture, then goes to the mountain to make the call to prayer and pray. Allah, the
Exalted, says, 'Look at my slave there who makes the call to prayer and establishes the prayer out of fear of Me. I have
forgiven my slave and have allowed him to enter Paradise."' (Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and anNasa'i.)
