The Hated Muezzin


The Hated Muezzin

It is reported that a man once came to ‘Abdullâh b. ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased with him – and said:


I love you for Allâh.


Ibn ‘Umar replied:


Then bear witness that I hate you for Allâh!


The man asked, “Why?”


He replied, “Because you sing in your adhân (call to prayer), and you take a wage [for calling it]!”


Al-Tabarânî, Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabîr, article 13059; from Shaykh Al-Albânî, Al-Sahîhah 1:104, where he grades it authentic.
