حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَحْشٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ قَالَ: نَا جُنَادَةُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْأَزْدِيُّ الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: نَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَوْ أَقْسَمْتُ لَبَرَرْتُ، إِنَّ أَحَبَّ عِبَادِ اللهِ إِلَى اللهِ لَرُعَاةُ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ - يَعْنِي: الْمُؤَذِّنِينَ -، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيُعْرَفُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِطُولِ أَعْنَاقِهِمْ
