حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ أَذَّنَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ مُحْتَسِبًا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَثَوْبَانَ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَأَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ وَاضِحٍ . وَأَبُو حَمْزَةَ السُّكَّرِيُّ اسْمُهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ . وَجَابِرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْجُعْفِيُّ ضَعَّفُوهُ تَرَكَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى سَمِعْتُ الْجَارُودَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ وَكِيعًا يَقُولُ لَوْلاَ جَابِرٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ لَكَانَ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ بِغَيْرِ حَدِيثٍ وَلَوْلاَ حَمَّادٌ لَكَانَ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ بِغَيْرِ فِقْهٍ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 206
This Hadith speaks about the reward of adhan and the intention behind it. Ibn Abbas narrates that whoever calls the adhan for seven years, seeking reward for it, will have salvation from the Fire written for him. The text places attention on two things: long service and doing it with ihtisab, meaning seeking reward from Allah. The report also includes Abu Isa's note that this narration is gharib and mentions discussion about a narrator being weakened. So the explanation should stay careful. The message in the wording is that the mu'adh-dhin's work is honored, especially when done for Allah, not for show.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith links calling adhan with seeking reward from Allah.
- The wording mentions seven years of service in the adhan.
- The report itself includes a grading note and narrator discussion.
- The role of the mu'adh-dhin is presented as spiritually serious.
