ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmarThe Hated Muezzin

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

I love you for Allāh. Ibn ‘Umar replied: Then bear witness that I hate you for Allāh! The man asked, “Why?” He replied, “Because you sing in your adhān (call to prayer), and you take a wage [for calling it]!” Al-Ṭabarānī, Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabīr, article 13059; from Shaykh Al-Albānī, Al-Saḥīḥah 1:104, where he grades it authentic.
