Isma'il ibn Ibrahim told us: Hisham al-Dastawa'i informed us - my father said - and Abu Amir al-Aqadi said: Hisham told us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, from Isa ibn Talhah - Abu Amir said in his narration: Isa ibn Talhah told me - who said: We entered upon Mu'awiyah, and the caller made the call to prayer, saying: Allah is greater, Allah is greater. Mu'awiyah said: Allah is greater, Allah is greater. He said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. Mu'awiyah said: And I bear witness - Abu Amir said - that there is no god but Allah. He said: I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Mu'awiyah said: And I bear witness - Abu Amir said - that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Yahya said: A man told us that when he said, Come to prayer, he said, There is no power and no strength except by Allah. Mu'awiyah said: Thus I heard your Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say.
