Chapter on the Adhan and the Iqamah

أَحْمَدُ عَنِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ آخِرُ مَا فَارَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَبِيبَ قَلْبِي أَنْ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَصَلِّ صَلاَةَ أَضْعَفِ مَنْ خَلْفَكَ وَلاَ تَتَّخِذَنَّ مُؤَذِّناً يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْراً»
Ahmad from Al-Barqi from Al-Nawfali from Al-Sakuni from (Imam) Ja'far عليه السلام from his father عليه السلام: (Imam) Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "The last thing upon which I parted from the beloved of my heart (Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم), was that He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘O Ali, when you pray, pray the prayer of the weakest among those behind you, and do not appoint a Mu'adhdhin who takes a wage for his Adhan.'"
