This hadith is listed as number 12 in Maktaba Shamila
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ ، يَقُولُ : لَا يَكُونُ الرَّجُلُ إِمَامًا يُقْتَدَى بِهِ ، حَتَّى يُمْسِكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا سَمِع
Muhammad bin ul-Muthannā narrated to us, he said I heard Abd ar-Rahman bin Mahdī saying: ‘A man cannot be an Imām whose example is followed until he withholds from some of what he hears’.
