Hadith of Uqbah ibn Amir Al-Juhani from the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Musnad Ahmad 17425 — Hadith of Uqbah ibn Amir Al-Juhani
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْأَسْلَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ فِي مَخْرَجٍ خَرَجْنَاهُ ، فَحَانَتْ صَلَاةٌ ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يَؤُمَّنَا ، فَأَبَى عَلَيْنَا ، وَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا يَؤُمُّ عَبْدٌ قَوْمًا إِلَّا تَوَلَّى مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ ، إِنْ أَحْسَنَ فَلَهُ ، وَإِنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهِ " .
Abu Ali Hamdani (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I set out on a journey, and Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) was with us. We requested him to lead us in prayer. (He refused and) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever leads people in prayer, offering it on time and completely, he will receive the reward as will the followers; but whoever is negligent in it, its burden will be upon him alone, not upon the followers.
