وَعَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ رضى الله عنه
«أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ اِجْعَلْنِي إِمَامَ قَوْمِي. قَالَ: «أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ، وَاقْتَدِ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ، وَاِتَّخِذْ مُؤَذِّنًا لَا يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا» أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ، وَحَسَّنَهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ، وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلْحَاكِمُ. 11 صحيح
He said, “O Messenger of Allah, appointment as the Imam (leader) of my people (in prayers). He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘You are their Imam, but you should follow (observe the strength of) the weakest among them and appoint a Muadhdhin who does not charge for the call of Adhan.’.”
