Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، قَالَ كَانَ آخِرُ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ لاَ أَتَّخِذَ مُؤَذِّنًا يَأْخُذُ عَلَى الأَذَانِ أَجْرًا ‏.‏
"The last instruction that the Messenger of Allah gave to me was that I should not appoint a Mu'adh-dhin who took payment for the Adhan." (sahih)
Narrated by It was narrated that 'Uthman bin Abul-As said:

Context

Modern Application

In contemporary settings, this principle encourages communities to appoint individuals for the Adhan based on their dedication and love for the call to prayer, rather than financial incentives. This fosters a spirit of community service and devotion.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prophetic Conduct and Wages and Labor because it addresses the ethical considerations surrounding the appointment of a Mu'adh-dhin, emphasizing the importance of sincerity in religious roles.
