في الإمام يخص (نفسه) بدعاء
The imam singling himself out in supplication
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6694 — The imam singling himself out
٦٦٩٤ - حدثنا ابن علية عن خالد الحذاء (قال) (١): قال أبو قلابة: تدري لم كرهت الإمامة؟ قال: لا، ولكنها كرهت أنه ليس لإمام أن يخص نفسه بدعاء من دون من وراءه.
Abu Qilabah once asked Khalid al-Hadhdha: Do you know why leading the prayer (imamate) is disliked? He said: No, but this much is certain: it is disliked for the imam to leave the people out and make a particular supplication for himself.
