Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْكُوفِيِّ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ وَالْمُؤَذِّنُ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ بِمَدِّ صَوْتِهِ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَطْبٍ وَيَابِسٍ وَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ صَلَّى مَعَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna reported to us. He said: Mu'adh ibn Hisham narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to me, from Qatadah, from Abu Ishaq al-Kufi, from al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, that the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah and His angels send blessings upon the front row. The caller to prayer is forgiven as far as his voice reaches, and every moist and dry thing that hears him affirms his call. He receives a reward equal to that of those who pray with him.'
