Is there in the hadith: “For no jinn or human hears the extent of the mu’adhdhin’s voice” that Satan runs away so that he does not witness the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This hadith cannot be made the reason for Satan’s running away from the adhan?The Shaykh : His running away?

The questioner : Yes

The Shaykh : Yes, so that he does not witness it on the Day of Resurrection, not that he is mad, but he dislikes the remembrance of Allah, and he knows that this adhan is a call to prayer. The more beloved an act of worship is to Allah, the more hateful it is to Satan.

The questioner : ...the prayer

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : ...the prayer

The Shaykh : Yes, but is it loud? The imam may recite loudly, but this loudness is more specific than the iqamah and more specific than the adhan. Then it is not possible for us to contradict the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said: “When the call to prayer is made, Satan turns away, and when the prayer is present, he comes back.” It is not possible for us to say that he runs away from the sound of the adhan and the sound of the iqamah, but does not run away from the sound of the imam in the loud prayers. Three.
The student: Four.

The Shaykh : Four, okay.
