The Call to Prayer and the Establishment of Prayer and the Reward of the Muezzins
وَ رَوَى حَارِثُ بْنُ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ اَلنَّضْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «مَنْ سَمِعَ اَلْمُؤَذِّنَ يَقُولُ - أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ فَقَالَ مُصَدِّقاً مُحْتَسِباً وَ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ أَكْتَفِي بِهِمَا عَنْ كُلِّ مَنْ أَبَى وَ جَحَدَ وَ أُعِينُ بِهِمَا مَنْ أَقَرَّ وَ شَهِدَ كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ اَلْأَجْرِ عَدَدُ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ وَ جَحَدَ وَ عَدَدُ مَنْ أَقَرَّ وَ شَهِدَ.
Harith ibn al-Mughira al-Nadri narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام that He said: "Whoever hears the mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) say, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم,' and then, affirming and seeking reward, responds with 'And I also bear witness that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. I suffice myself with these testimonies against anyone who denies or rejects, and I support with them anyone who affirms and bears witness,' will receive a reward equivalent to the number of those who deny and reject and the number of those who affirm and bear witness."
