باب إِمَامَةِ الزَّائِرِ

English narration

Narrated by مالك بن الحويرث الليثي

Abu Atiyyah, a freed slave of us, said: Malik bin al-Huwairith came to this place of prayer of ours, and the iqamah for prayer was called. We said to him: Come forward and lead the prayer. He said to us: Put one of your own men forward to lead you in prayer. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If anyone visits people, he should not lead them in prayer, but some person of them should lead the prayer.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَطِيَّةَ مَوْلًى مِنَّا ، قَالَ : كَانَ مَالِكُ بْنُ حُوَيْرِثٍ يَأْتِينَا إِلَى مُصَلَّانَا هَذَا فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَقُلْنَا لَهُ : تَقَدَّمْ فَصَلِّهْ ، فَقَالَ لَنَا : قَدِّمُوا رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ يُصَلِّي بِكُمْ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ لِمَ لَا أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : "

مَنْ زَارَ قَوْمًا فَلَا يَؤُمَّهُمْ وَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ

" .
