"لَوْ أقْسَمْتُ لَبَرَرْتُ، إِنَّ أحَبَّ عِبَادِ اللهِ لَرُعَاةُ الشَّمْسِ وَالقَمَرِ -يَعْنى المُؤَذِّنين- وإنَّهُمْ لَيُعْرفُونَ يَوْم القِيَامَةِ بطُولِ أعْنَاقِهِم".

"If I were to swear, I would be truthful in my oath. Indeed, the most beloved of Allah's servants are the guardians of the sun and the moon (i.e., the muezzins). They will be recognized on the Day of Resurrection by the length of their necks."
