أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْنِي إِمَامَ قَوْمِي ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ وَاقْتَدِ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ وَاتَّخِذْ مُؤَذِّنًا لاَ يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ahmad ibn Sulayman reported to us. He said: 'Affan narrated to us. He said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us. He said: Sa'id al-Jurayri narrated to us, from Abu al-'Ala', from Mutarrif, from 'Uthman ibn Abi al-'As, who said: I said, Messenger of Allah, appoint me as the imam of my people. He replied, You are their imam. Make allowance for the weakest among them, and appoint a caller to prayer who takes no payment for his call.
