وَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ اَللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ "وَ لَكِنِّي أُبْغِضُكَ" قَالَ وَ لِمَ قَالَ "لِأَنَّكَ تَبْغِي فِي اَلْأَذَانِ كَسْباً وَ تَأْخُذُ عَلَى تَعْلِيمِ اَلْقُرْآنِ أَجْراً".

A man came to the Commander of the Faithful (a.s) and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, by Allah (swt), I love you." Imam (a.s) said to him: "But I dislike you." The man asked: "Why?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Because you seek profit through the call to prayer (Adhan) and take payment for teaching the Quran."
