The answer

The hadith: (Allah does not listen to anything as He listens to a Prophet with a beautiful voice chanting the Qur’an aloud), narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

The meaning of "أَذِنَ" (adhina): to listen. That is: Allah does not listen to anything as He listens to a Prophet with a beautiful voice chanting the Qur’an aloud.

Scholars, such as Abu Ubaid al-Qasim ibn Salam, Al-Baghawi, and Ibn Kathir, have clarified that this listening is a great and unique listening to the recitation of the Prophets, due to the combination of a beautiful voice and complete reverence in their recitation. This listening is more profound than His listening to the recitation of all His other believing servants.
