531. Muṭarrif bin 'Abdullāh reported that 'Uthmān bin Al-'Aṣ said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Make me the Imām of my people (in prayer)." So he said: "You are their Imām. And follow the weakest among them,[1] and take a Mu'adh-dhīn who does not take a stipend for his Adhān." (Ṣaḥīh)

Arabic text

531 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، 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 لَا يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا»
