Sunan Ibn Majah, 939

Rapporté par ‘Abdullah bin Harith bin Nawfal : Ibn ‘Abbas a ordonné au muezzin d’appeler l’Adhan un vendredi pluvieux. Il a dit : “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.” Puis il (Ibn ‘Abbas) a dit : “Annoncez aux gens qu’ils doivent prier chez eux.” Les gens lui ont demandé : “Pourquoi as-tu fait cela ?” Il a répondu : “Quelqu’un de meilleur que moi l’a fait. Voulez-vous que je fasse sortir les gens de chez eux et qu’ils viennent jusqu’à moi en marchant dans la boue jusqu’aux genoux ?”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Harith bin Nawfal that Ibn ‘Abbas commanded the Mu’adh-dhin to call the Adhan one Friday, which was a rainy day. He said:“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most Great, Allah is Most Great, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).” Then he (Ibn ‘Abbas) said: “Proclaim to the people that they should pray in their houses.” The people said to him: “What is this that you have done?” He said: “One who is better than me did that. Are you telling me that I should bring the people out of their houses and make them come to me wading through the mud up to their knees?”
