حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ أَبُو جَنَّابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُوتُوا ، وَبَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُشْغَلُوا ، وَصِلُوا الَّذِي بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِكُمْ لَهُ ، وَكَثْرَةِ الصَّدَقَةِ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلَانِيَةِ ، تُرْزَقُوا وَتُنْصَرُوا وَتُجْبَرُوا ، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا ، فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا ، فِي شَهْرِي هَذَا ، مِنْ عَامِي هَذَا ، إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فِي حَيَاتِي أَوْ بَعْدِي وَلَهُ إِمَامٌ عَادِلٌ أَوْ جَائِرٌ ، اسْتِخْفَافًا بِهَا أَوْ جُحُودًا لَهَا ، فَلَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ ، وَلَا بَارَكَ لَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ ، أَلَا وَلَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ ، وَلَا زَكَاةَ لَهُ ، وَلَا حَجَّ لَهُ ، وَلَا صَوْمَ لَهُ ، وَلَا بِرَّ لَهُ ، حَتَّى يَتُوبَ ، فَمَنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ، أَلَا لَا تَؤُمَّنَّ امْرَأَةٌ رَجُلًا ، وَلَا يَؤُمَّن أَعْرَابِيٌّ مُهَاجِرًا ، وَلَا يَؤُمَّ فَاجِرٌ مُؤْمِنًا ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَقْهَرَهُ بِسُلْطَانٍ يَخَافُ سَيْفَهُ وَسَوْطَهُ " .
´It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a sermon to us and said: ‘O people! Repent to Allah before you die. Hasten to do good deeds before you become preoccupied (because of sickness and old age). Uphold the relationship that exists between you and your Lord by remembering Him a great deal and by giving a great deal of charity in secret and openly. (Then) you will be granted provision and Divine support, and your condition will improve. Know that Allah has enjoined Friday upon you in this place of mine, on this day, in this month, in this year, until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever abandons it, whether during my lifetime or after I am gone, whether he has a just or an unjust ruler, whether he takes it lightly or denies (that it is obligatory), may Allah cause him to lose all sense of tranquility and contentment, and may He not bless him in his affairs. Indeed, his prayer will not be valid, his Zakat will not be valid, his Hajj will not be valid, his fasting will not be valid, and his righteous deeds will not be accepted, until he repents. Whoever repents, Allah will accept his repentance. No woman should be appointed as Imam over a man, no Bedouin should be appointed as Imam over a Muhajir, no immoral person should be appointed as Imam over a (true) believer, unless that is forced upon him and he fears his sword or whip.’”

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, if due to a tyrannical ruler, some imam is appointed by him or he himself leads the prayer, and people fear that if they do not follow him, their honor and dignity will be harmed, then out of compulsion and for the sake of expediency, it is permissible to perform prayer behind a transgressor (fasiq) as imam. From this hadith, it is derived that the imam should always be righteous, virtuous, and knowledgeable, and for this very reason, the Bedouin (a‘rabi) was prohibited from leading the emigrant (muhajir) in prayer, because the emigrants (muhajirun) were more knowledgeable, virtuous, and righteous compared to the Bedouins (a‘rab).
