عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " مَنْ أَمَّ قَوْمًا فَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلْيَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ ضَامِنٌ مَسْئُولٌ لِمَا ضَمِنَ، فَإِنْ أَحْسَنَ كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ صَلَّى خَلْفَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ نَقْصٍ فَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَفِيهِ مُعَارِكُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبُخَارِيُّ وَأَبُو زُرْعَةَ وَالدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ ، وَذَكَرَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ فِي الثِّقَاتِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever leads people in prayer should fear Allah Almighty and should know that he is a guarantor, and he will be held to account for what he has guaranteed. If he does well, he will receive a reward, as much as the reward of those who prayed behind him, without anything being reduced from their reward; and any shortcoming (on the part of the imam), its burden will be upon him (the imam) alone."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Mu'arik bin Abbad, whom Ahmad, al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him), Abu Zur'ah and al-Daraqutni (may Allah have mercy on him) declared da'if (weak). Ibn Hibban mentioned him in his book al-Thiqat.

وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " الْإِمَامُ ضَامِنٌ فَمَا صَنَعَ فَاصْنَعُوا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَفِيهِ: مُوسَى بْنُ شَيْبَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، ضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَوَثَّقَهُ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ ، وَذَكَرَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ فِي الثِّقَاتِ أَيْضًا .
قُلْتُ : وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَتْ أَحَادِيثُ فِي قَوْلِهِ : " الْإِمَامُ ضَامِنٌ وَالْمُؤَذِّنُ مُؤْتَمَنٌ " فِي الْأَذَانِ .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam is a guarantor, so whatever he does, you do the same."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Musa bin Shaybah, who is from the descendants of Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). Ahmad declared him da'if (weak), and Abu Hatim called him thiqah (trustworthy). Ibn Hibban also mentioned him in his book al-Thiqat. I say: Hadiths have already passed in the chapter on the adhan concerning this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The imam is a guarantor, and the mu'adhdhin is entrusted."
