13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar al-Sabatiy who has said the following
“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about Adhan if one who is not well versed can say Adhan. He (the Imam) said, ‘Adhan does not come right and it is not permissible to say Adhan unless one is a Muslim man and knowledgeable. If he knows Adhan he says it, if he is not well versed it is not permissible for him to say it or ‘Iqamah. One is not permitted to assign him to lead in Salah (prayer).’ He (the Imam) was asked about a man who says Adhan and ‘Iqamah so he can perform Salah (prayer) alone, and then another man comes and says, ‘Allow us to perform Salah (prayer) in congregation.’ Is it permissible that they perform Salah (prayer) with that Adhan and ‘Iqamah?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, but he says Adhan and ‘Iqamah.’”
13ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ السَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
سُئِلَ عَنِ الأذَانِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ غَيْرِ عَارِفٍ قَالَ لاَ يَسْتَقِيمُ الأذَانُ وَلاَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ بِهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ عَارِفٌ فَإِنْ عَلِمَ الأذَانَ فَأَذَّنَ بِهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَارِفاً لَمْ يُجْزِ أَذَانُهُ وَلاَ إِقَامَتُهُ وَلاَ يُقْتَدَى بِهِ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُؤَذِّنُ وَيُقِيمُ لِيُصَلِّيَ وَحْدَهُ فَيَجِي‏ءُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ نُصَلِّي جَمَاعَةً فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَا بِذَلِكَ الأذَانِ وَالإِقَامَةِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ يُؤَذِّنُ وَيُقِيمُ.
