Abu al-Walid narrated to us; Shuʿbah narrated to us from Musa ibn Abi ʿUthman. He said, “I heard Abu Yahya say, ‘I heard Abu Hurayrah—may Allah be pleased with him—relate from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: “The caller to prayer is forgiven for as far as his voice reaches.”’”

Hafs ibn ʿUmar also narrated to us; Shuʿbah narrated to us. He said, “Musa informed me, saying, ‘I heard Abu Yahya transmit this same report.’”
