English translation

592. (There is another chain) from Al-Walīd bin Jumaīh, from ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Khallād, from Umm Waraqah bint ‘Abdullāh bin Al-Hārīth with this Hadīth. And the first (narration, no. 591) is more complete. He said: “And Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ would visit her in her house, and he appointed for her a Mu’adh-dhin that would call to the prayer for her. And he had commanded her to lead the people of her house in prayer.” (Hasan) ‘Abdur-Rahmān said: “I saw her Mu’adh-dhin — an old man.”

592 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ وَرَقَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَزُورُهَا فِي بَيْتِهَا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا مُؤَذِّنًا يُؤَذِّنُ لَهَا، وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَؤُمَّ أَهْلَ دَارِهَا، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ مُؤَذِّنَهَا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا
