LessonsCompanionship, Trust, Mosque Etiquette, Detachment, and Workers’ Rights (Hadith 146–153)Quiz

لِيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ خِيَارُكُمْ، وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ قُرَّاؤُكُمْ
Let the better among you call the adhān for you, and let those proficient in Qur’an recitation lead you in prayer.

Source: أبو داود

لِيُؤَذِّنْ means “let [someone] call the adhān,” and وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ means “and let [someone] lead you.” The initial lām of command directs an action through a third-person verb. خِيَارُكُمْ denotes the better people among you, and قُرَّاؤُكُمْ those proficient in Qur’an recitation.

Responsibilities in congregational worship should not be allocated merely for status or personal favoritism. Good character and competence matter for the adhān; sound recitation and appropriate knowledge and ability matter for leading prayer.
