حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى بْنُ طَلْحَةَ،

Translation

Isa ibn Talhah reported that he heard Mu'awiyah one day, and he said the like of it (as the caller to prayer) up to his words, “And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

Translator’s note: That is, Mu'awiyah repeated the words of the caller to prayer.
