(5) Chapter: It Is Permissible For A Blind Man To Call The Adhan So long As There Is A Man With Him Who Sees

باب جَوَازِ أَذَانِ الأَعْمَى إِذَا كَانَ مَعَهُ بَصِيرٌ ‏

A’isha reported:

Ibn Umm Maktum used to pronounce Adhan at the behest of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (despite the fact) that he was blind.

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، – يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَخْلَدٍ – عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ يُؤَذِّنُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ أَعْمَى ‏.‏
