Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rabi'ah al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey. Meanwhile he heard the voice of a caller to prayer (mu'adhdhin) who was saying: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I too bear witness that there is no god but Allah." The mu'adhdhin said: "I bear witness that Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I too bear witness that Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah."
