" عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِى الْعَاصِى قَالَ: كَان آخُر مَا عَهِدَ إِلىَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ قَالَ: صَلِّ بأَصْحَابِكَ صَلاةَ أَضْعَفِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهمِ الضَّعِيفَ والْكَبِيرَ وذَا الحَاجَةِ، وَاتَّخِذْ مُؤَذَّنًا لا يَأخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا".

“‘Uthman ibn Abi al-‘As said: The last thing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ charged me with was to say: ‘Lead your companions in prayer as the weakest of them would pray, for among them are the weak, the elderly, and the one with a need. And appoint a muezzin who takes no payment for his call to prayer.’”
