قَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ ، ثَنَا [عَنْبَسَةُ] بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَلَّاقٍ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِمَامُ الْقَوْمِ وَافِدُهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَدِّمُوا أَفْضَلَكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam of a people is their delegate and representative before Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, so put forward the most virtuous and best among you (to lead the prayer)."
Because of the presence in its chain of matruk (abandoned) and da'if (weak) narrators such as Dawud bin al-Muhabbar and Anbasah bin Abd al-Rahman, this hadith is extremely weak in its chain.
