723. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Abu Sa'sa'ah that his father, who was under the care of Abu Sa'eed, said: "Abu Sa'eed said to me: 'If you are in the desert, raise your voice when you say the Adhân, for I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'No jinn, human, tree or rock will hear it, but it will bear witness for you.'"(Sahih)
723 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ فِي حِجْرِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي الْبَوَادِي، فَارْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ بِالْأَذَانِ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يَسْمَعُهُ جِنٌّ، وَلَا إِنْسٌ، وَلَا شَجَرٌ، وَلَا حَجَرٌ، إِلَّا شَهِدَ لَهُ»

If a man who is in a lonely place and calls the Adhân for his prayer in obedience to the commands of Allâh and His Prophet ﷺ, even for him the Prophet's instruction is to call the Adhân in a loud voice. Even inanimate objects have some kind of consciousness which we are not aware of. Conditions in the Hereafter and on the Day of Resurrections will be totally different from the Divine laws operating in this world. Even inanimate objects shall be witnesses for or against human beings. Mu'adh-dhin occupy a place of great eminence near Allâh. The reason being that the Adhân is the doorway to the congregational prayer.
