بَابُ النَّهْيِ عَنْ أَخْذِ الْأُجْرَةِ عَلَى الْأَذَانِ
Chapter on the Prohibition of Taking Payment for the Adhan
Hadith 1281
عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! اجْعَلْنِي إِمَامَ قَوْمِي، فَقَالَ: ((أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ، وَاقْتَدِ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ، وَاتَّخِذْ مُؤَذِّنًا لَا يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا))
Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Make me the imam of my people." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Alright), you are their imam. Take care of the weakest among them and appoint such a muezzin who does not take wages for his call to prayer.
