Ibn Juraij narrated: “Abdul-‘Aziz bin ‘Abdul-Malik bin Abu Mahdhurah narrated from ‘Abdullah bin muhairiz who was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah bin mi’yar that when he was preparing him to travel to Sham, he said: ‘O my uncle, I am going out to Sham, and I will be asked about how you started the Adhan.’ So he informed me that. Abu Mahdhurah said: ‘I went out with a group of people, and we were somewhere on the road, when the Mu’adh-dhin of the Messenger of Allah gave the call to prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. We heard the voice of the Mu’adh-dhin, and we were shunning it (the Adhan), so we started yelling, imitating it and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah heard us, so he sent some people who brought us to sit in front of him. He said: ‘Who is the one whose voice I heard so loud?’ The people all pointed to me, and they were telling the truth. He sent them all away, but kept me there and said to me: ‘Stand up and give the call to prayer.’ I stood up and there was nothing more hateful to me than the Messenger of Allah and what he was telling me to do. I stood up in front of the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah himself taught me the call. He said: “Say: ‘Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).'” Then he said: “Raise your voice (and say). Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya ‘alal-salah, Hayya ‘alal-salah; Hayya ‘alal-falah, Hayya ‘alal-falah; Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah).'” Then he called me when I had finished saying the Adhan, and gave me a small bag in which there was some silver. Then he put his hand on the forelock of Abu Mahdhurah, then passed it over his face, then over his chest, and over his heart, until the hand of the Messenger of Allah reached his navel. Then the Messenger of Allah said: ‘May Allah bless you and send blessings upon you.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, do you command me to give the call to prayer in Makkah?’ He said: ‘Yes, I command you (to do so).’ Then all the hatred I had felt towards the Messenger of Allah disappeared, and was replaced with love for the Messenger of Allah. I came to ‘Attab bin Asid, the governor of the Messenger of Allah in Makkah, and gave the call to prayer with him by command of the Messenger of Allah.” (Sahih)He (‘Abdul-‘Aziz) said: “Someone who met Abu Mahdhurah told me the same as ‘Abdullah bin Muhairiz told me.”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا محمد بن بشار، ومحمد بن يحيى، قالا حدثنا أبو عاصم، أنبأنا ابن جريج، أخبرني عبد العزيز بن عبد الملك بن أبي محذورة، عن عبد الله بن محيريز، – وكان يتيما في حجر أبي محذورة بن معير حين جهزه إلى الشام – فقلت لأبي محذورة أى عم إني خارج إلى الشام وإني أسأل عن تأذينك فأخبرني أن أبا محذورة قال خرجت في نفر فكنا ببعض الطريق فأذن مؤذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالصلاة عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسمعنا صوت المؤذن ونحن عنه متنكبون فصرخنا نحكيه نهزأ به فسمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأرسل إلينا قوما فأقعدونا بين يديه فقال ” أيكم الذي سمعت صوته قد ارتفع ” . فأشار إلى القوم كلهم وصدقوا فأرسل كلهم وحبسني وقال لي ” قم فأذن ” . فقمت ولا شىء أكره إلى من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا مما يأمرني به فقمت بين يدى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فألقى على رسول الله التأذين هو بنفسه فقال ” قل الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله ” . ثم قال لي ” ارجع فمد من صوتك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله ” . ثم دعاني حين قضيت التأذين فأعطاني صرة فيها شىء من فضة ثم وضع يده على ناصية أبي محذورة ثم أمرها على وجهه من بين يديه ثم على كبده ثم بلغت يد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سرة أبي محذورة ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ” بارك الله لك وبارك عليك ” . فقلت يا رسول الله أمرتني بالتأذين بمكة قال ” نعم قد أمرتك ” . فذهب كل شىء كان لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من كراهية وعاد ذلك كله محبة لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقدمت على عتاب بن أسيد عامل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بمكة فأذنت معه بالصلاة على أمر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . قال وأخبرني ذلك من أدرك أبا محذورة على ما أخبرني عبد الله بن محيريز .
