Hadith 592
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ ،عَنْ أُمِّ وَرَقَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَزُورُهَا فِي بَيْتِهَا ، وَجَعَلَ لَهَا مُؤَذِّنًا يُؤَذِّنُ لَهَا وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَؤُمَّ أَهْلَ دَارِهَا ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ مُؤَذِّنَهَا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا .
This tradition has also been narrated through a different chain of transmitters by Umm Waraqah daughter of Abdullah bin al-Harith. The first version is complete. This version goes: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit her at her house. He appointed a Muadhdhin to call adhan for her; and he commanded her to lead the inmates of her house in prayer. Abdur-Rahman said: I saw her Muadhdhin who was an old man.
