Abu Atiyyah says that once Hazrat Malik bin Huwairith came to our mosque. When the prayer was established, the people requested him to lead the prayer, but he refused and said, "Let one of your own men lead the prayer." (Later I will tell you a hadith as to why I am not leading you in prayer.) After the prayer, he said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When a person visits a people, he should not lead them in prayer; rather, one of their own men should lead them in prayer."
