Arabic text

725 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُؤَذِّنُونَ أَطْوَلُ النَّاسِ أَعْنَاقًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

Commentary

'Mu'adh-dhin having the longest necks' could either be an expression for their lofty and elevated position, or simply a statement of fact.
