Sunan Abi Dawud 531
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ وَقَالَ مُوسَى فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْنِي إِمَامَ قَوْمِي . قَالَ " أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ وَاقْتَدِ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ وَاتَّخِذْ مُؤَذِّنًا لاَ يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا " .
Musa ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us: Saʿid al-Jurayri informed us, from Abu al-ʿAlaʾ, from Mutarrif ibn ʿAbd Allah, from ʿUthman ibn Abi al-ʿAs, who said—I also heard Musa say elsewhere that ʿUthman ibn Abi al-ʿAs said: ‘Messenger of Allah, appoint me as imam of my people.’ He replied: ‘You are their imam. Take account of the weakest among them, and appoint a caller to prayer who takes no payment for his call.’
