English translation

2540. It was reported from Mūsā bin Ya'qūb Az-Zam'i, from Abū Ḥazim, from Saḥl bin Sa'd who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Two supplications are not turned back,' or 'rarely turned back: The supplication at the time of the call (to prayer), and at the time of battle when the two sides engage.'" (Sahih) Mūsā said: "And Rizq bin Sa'eed bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān narrated to me, from Abū Ḥāzim, from Saḥl bin Sa'd, from the Prophet ﷺ: '...and during the rain.'"

2540 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الزَّمْعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ثِنْتَانِ لَا تُرَدَّانِ، أَوْ قَلَّمَا تُرَدَّانِ الدُّعَاءُ عِنْدَ النِّدَاءِ، وَعِنْدَ الْبَأْسِ حِينَ يُلْحِمُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا»، قَالَ مُوسَى، وَحَدَّثَنِي رِزْقُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «وَوَقْتُ الْمَطَرِ»

Commentary

Calling the Adhān and engaging in Jihād are both means of exalting the Word of Allāh. Therefore, supplications made at these times are blessed with acceptance by Allāh.
