English translation
914. Narrated Abū Umāma bin Sahl bin Hunaif: I heard Mu'āwiya bin Abī Sufyān (repeating the wording of the Adhān) while he was sitting on the pulpit. When the Mu'adh-dhīn pronounced the Adhān saying, "Allāhu-Akbar, Allāhu-Akbar", Mu'āwiya said: "Allāhu-Akbar, Allāhu-Akbar." And when the Mu'adh-dhīn said, "Aṣḥ-hadu an lā ilāha illallāh (I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)", Mu'āwiya said, "And (so do) I". When he said, "Aṣḥ-hadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūl Ullāh (I testify that Muḥammad is Allāh's Messenger)", Mu'āwiya said, "And (so do) I". When the Adhān was finished, Mu'āwiya said, "O people, when the Mu'adh-dhīn pronounced the Adhān, I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on this very pulpit saying what you have just heard me saying".
