The First Adhan and the Reward for the One Who Performs It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it said that the first adhan is mentioned by all the people? So whoever acquires the adhan and it is missed by him is like the people of the Sunnah. And likewise, is it said that it is from the Sunnah that the one who performs the first adhan is not the same as the one who performs the second adhan?

Answer:
Well, if the first adhan is found and it is at an appropriate time, not too early, at an appropriate time half an hour or a quarter of an hour before Fajr, well, this is a Sunnah, and the one who performs it has a reward, because the people benefit from this: the one who performs it prays Witr, and the one who performs it takes a ghusl, performs wudu, and prepares for the prayer, so that he does not miss the prayer. He gets up at an earlier time, so he has the opportunity for something good. So whoever performs it in this manner is rewarded, and he is acting in accordance with the Sunnah.
