عن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الإمام ضامن والمؤذن مؤتمن اللهم أرشد الأئمة واغفر للمؤذنين. رواه ابو داود (الترغيب والترهيب 1/244)
Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “The Imaam is responsible (for the salaah of the entire congregation) and the muazzin is one who is entrusted with a trust (he has been entrusted with the duty of calling out the azaan on its prescribed time). O Allah, guide the Imaams (towards fulfilling their obligation of leading the salaah correctly) and forgive the muazzins (for their shortcomings).”
