The authenticity of the hadith: The mu'adhhdhins will have the longest necks on the Day of Resurrection

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The mu'adhhdhins will have the longest necks on the Day of Resurrection; what is the authenticity of that?

Answer:
Yes, this is a valid hadith. It contains the virtue of the adhan. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousnessوَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا
[Fussilat 41:33]
Calling to Allah—this refers to the mu'adhhdhins, those who call people to prayer. And doing good—so their saying this is among the best of speech, which is the adhan, because it is the remembrance of Allah and a call to prayer. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
