حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ مَزْيَدٍ ، الْبَيْرُوتِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي ، حَدَّثَنِي حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْخَوْلانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "لا يَقُصُّ عَلَى النَّاسِ إِلا أَمِيرٌ ، أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ ، أَوْ مُرَاءٍ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، إِلا حَمَّادٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ ، مَزْيَدٍ
Amr bin Shu'aib narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Stories may only be related to the people by the leader, or by one whom the leader commands, or by a show-off."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Narrating the incidents of the noble Prophets (alayhimus-salam) and the righteous predecessors (salaf salihin) to admonish and advise the public is an important responsibility.
➋ In an Islamic government, delivering the sermon (khutbah) is the right of the ruler. Appointing deputies (governors and local officials) in various cities is also his duty, so that they may provide religious guidance to the people in their respective places and also supervise and guide administrative affairs.
➌ The purpose of preaching without the permission of the legitimate leader (shar‘i amir) may be to display one’s own knowledge, which is ostentation (riya’).
➍ When an Islamic state is not established, every scholar is responsible for the religious guidance of the public. However, if a person ignorant of religious knowledge tries to become a public leader merely on the strength of his eloquence, it will become a cause for spreading misguidance.
