Hadith 17795

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حَرْمَلَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، قَالَ : صَحِبَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَجَعَلَ لَا يَؤُمُّنَا ، قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : لَهُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ ، أَلَا تَؤُمُّنَا وَأَنْتَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : لَا ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَأَصَابَ الْوَقْتَ ، وَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ ، فَلَهُ وَلَهُمْ ، وَمَنْ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَعَلَيْهِ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ " .
Abu Ali Hamdani, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I set out on a journey, and with us was Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir, may Allah be pleased with him. We said to him, "May Allah's mercy be upon you, you are a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so please lead us in prayer." He refused and said, "I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: Whoever leads the people in prayer, performing it on time and completely, he will receive the reward as well as the followers, but whoever is negligent in it, its burden will be upon him alone, not upon the followers."
