Theres still some time to go for Maghrib and someone is calling the Adhan. Though he has a nice voice, its disturbing as its really out of time. Reminded me of this: A man used to shout superfluous calls to prayers in the mosque of Sinjar and in a voice which displeased all who heard it. The trustee of the mosque, who was a just and virtuous amir, not desirous to give him pain, said: My good fellow, in this mosque there are old muezzins to each of whom I pay five dinars monthly but to thee I shall give ten, if thou wilt go to another place. The man agreed and went away. Some time afterwards however, he returned to the amir and said: My lord, thou hast injured me by turning me away for ten dinars from this place because where I next went they offered me twenty dinars to go to another locality but I refused. The amir smiled and said: By no means accept them because will give thee even fifty dinars. No one can scrape the mud from gravel with an axe As thy discordant shouting scrapes the heart.
