Chapter 10 · Call to Prayers (Adhaan)إِمَامَةِ الْمَفْتُونِ وَالْمُبْتَدِعِ
The imamate of one who has fallen into fitnah and of the innovator
دَخَلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ وَهْوَ مَحْصُورٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ إِمَامُ عَامَّةٍ، وَنَزَلَ بِكَ مَا تَرَى وَيُصَلِّي لَنَا إِمَامُ فِتْنَةٍ وَنَتَحَرَّجُ. فَقَالَ الصَّلاَةُ أَحْسَنُ مَا يَعْمَلُ النَّاسُ، فَإِذَا أَحْسَنَ النَّاسُ فَأَحْسِنْ مَعَهُمْ، وَإِذَا أَسَاءُوا فَاجْتَنِبْ إِسَاءَتَهُمْ.

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ لَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ خِيَارٍ، أَنَّهُ
Translation
Ubaydullah ibn Adi ibn al-Khiyar reported that he went in to Uthman ibn Affan while he was under siege and said, “You are the imam of the people at large, and what you see has befallen you. A leader of strife leads us in prayer, and we feel uneasy (about it).” He said, “The prayer is the best thing that people do. When people do good, do good along with them; and when they do wrong, keep away from their wrongdoing.”
Translator’s note: This refers to the rebels who besieged Uthman; one of them led the prayer during that time.

Ubaidullah ibn Adi ibn al-Chiyar berichtete, dass er bei Uthman ibn Affan eintrat, während dieser belagert wurde, und sagte: „Du bist der Imam der Allgemeinheit, und dir ist widerfahren, was du siehst. Uns aber leitet ein Imam der Zwietracht im Gebet, und wir haben Bedenken (dabei).“ Da sagte er: „Das Gebet ist das Beste, was die Menschen tun. Wenn die Menschen Gutes tun, dann tu mit ihnen Gutes; und wenn sie Schlechtes tun, dann meide ihr Schlechtes.“
Translator’s note: Gemeint sind die Aufständischen, die Uthman belagerten; einer von ihnen leitete in dieser Zeit das Gebet.
Türkçe
Ubeydullah b. Adî b. Hıyâr, Osman b. Affân (r.a.) kuşatma altındayken yanına girdiğini ve şöyle dediğini rivayet etti: “Sen halkın imamısın; başına gördüğün şey geldi. Bize ise bir fitne imamı namaz kıldırıyor ve biz bundan rahatsızlık duyuyoruz.” Osman şöyle dedi: “Namaz, insanların yaptığı en güzel iştir. İnsanlar iyi yaptıklarında sen de onlarla birlikte iyi yap; kötü yaptıklarında ise kötülüklerinden sakın.”
Translator’s note: Kastedilen, Osman'ı kuşatan isyancılardır; o sırada namazı onlardan biri kıldırıyordu.

وَقَالَ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ لاَ نَرَى أَنْ يُصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمُخَنَّثِ إِلاَّ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهَا.
