أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشَّافِعِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنَا حُسَامُ بْنُ مِصَكٍّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«نِعْمَ الْمَرْءُ بِلَالٌ هُوَ سَيِّدُ الْمُؤَذِّنِينَ وَلَا يَتَّبِعُهُ إِلَّا مُؤَذِّنٌ وَالْمُؤَذِّنُونَ أَطْوَلُ النَّاسِ أَعْنَاقًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
