1 To get the like of the rewards of those who offered the prayer because of hearing the Athan
Abu Umama (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
" 'The Mu'adh-dhin's sins will be forgiven as far as his voice reaches, get the like of the rewards of those who offered the prayer with him "

2 To expel the devil for he escapes upon hearing the Athan
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "When Adhan for Salat is pronounced, the devil takes to his heels and breaks wind with noise so as not to hear the call. When the Adhan is finished, he returns. When the Iqamah is announced, he turns his back, and after it is finished, he returns again to distract the attention of one and makes him remember things which he does not recall in his mind before the Salat, and says 'Remember this, and this,' and thus causes one to forget how many Rak'at he performed."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
● The devil escapes so as not to testify to the caller on the Day of Resurrection.
● He escapes out of aversion to hearing the call to prayer, and then returns with a delusion; To spoil the worshiper's prayer.
● Because the call to prayer includes the prostration that he refused and disobeyed Allah because of rejecting it.
