Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Two things are never rejected or seldom rejected; Du’a at the time of Adhan and at the time when people are locked in battle”

Answer:

Imam Abu Dawud and Hakim (rahimahumallah) have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Sahl ibn Sa’d (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
