Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 4157 — An imam who leads people who dislike

Al-Qasim bin Mukhaymirah said: Some people put Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) forward to lead the prayer. He refused, but at the people's insistence he led them in prayer. When he had finished the prayer, Sayyiduna Salman asked, "Are all of you pleased with my leading the prayer?" They said, "We are pleased." Sayyiduna Salman said, "All praise is for Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'There are three people whose prayer is not accepted: a woman who goes out of her house without her husband's permission; a slave who has run away from his master; and a man who leads people in prayer while they are not pleased with him.'"
