Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

With regard to the first Hadeeth – which is the long one that starts with: “Four things ...”, – then we did not find it in the abundant books that we have at hand, but it seems obvious that it is a fabricated Hadeeth.

As regards what you mentioned that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) informed his companions that whoever listens to one verse from the Quran it will intercede for him on the Day of Judgment, then we have not come across a Hadeeth with this meaning. However, it is confirmed that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said: ''Recite the Quran, as it will come on the Day of Judgment as an intercessor for those who recited it.” [Muslim]

Also, we did not come across anything which proves that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said that a Muslim should stop doing anything when he hears the Athaan (the call to the prayer) even if he was reciting the Quran, and that whoever speaks during the Athaan he will not be able to utter the Shahaadah (The Two Testimonies of Faith) when he is on his death bed. Nonetheless, the jurists  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them stated that whoever hears the Athaan while he is reciting the Quran, he should listen to the Mu’aththin and say the mention that is legislated in this regard, and they argued that the time of the Athaan expires whereas there is plenty of time for reciting the Quran at any time.

Allaah Knows best.
