The question

Is the Hadith: "Three types of people will not be afflicted by the Great Terror, nor will they be subjected to reckoning; they will be on a dune of musk until the reckoning of all creatures is concluded: a man who recited the Quran seeking the Face of Allah and led people in prayer who were pleased with him; a caller who called to prayer seeking the Face of Allah; and a slave who perfected his conduct between himself and his Lord, and between himself and his masters," authentic?

The answer

The summary of the fatwa is that this hadith is not authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and all its chains of transmission are weak. Many imams and scholars have explicitly stated its weakness.

As for the content of the hadith, it mentions the virtues of three great deeds: leading the prayer (Imamah), giving the call to prayer (Adhan), and a servant's excellent treatment of his master. The virtue of these deeds is not dependent on this weak hadith; rather, their reward is established by other proofs and evidences.
