أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا أَبَانُ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَطِيَّةَ مَوْلًى مِنَّا قَالَ: كَانَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الْحُوَيْرِثِ يَأْتِينَا إِلَى مُصَلَّانَا هَذَا، فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: تَقَدَّمْ فَصَلِّ، فَقَالَ لَنَا: قَدِّمُوا رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ ⦗١٨٠⦘ يُصَلِّي بِكُمْ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ لِمَ لَا أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ زَارَ قَوْمًا فَلَا يَؤُمُّهُمْ، وَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ ".
Abu Atiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), who was our freed slave, says: Malik bin al-Huwayrith (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us in this mosque, and the iqamah for prayer was called. We said to him: "Lead the prayer." He said: "Put forward a man of your own to lead the prayer, and I will soon tell you why I do not lead you in prayer. For I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever visits a people should not lead them in prayer; rather, a man from among them should lead them.'"
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ قَالَ: أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فِي مَسْجِدٍ بِطَائِفَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَلِابْنِ عُمَرَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَسْجِدِ أَرْضٌ يَعْمَلُهَا، وَإِمَامُ ذَلِكَ الْمَسْجِدِ مَوْلًى لَهُ، وَمَسْكَنُ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْلَى وَأَصْحَابِهِ ثَمَّ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ جَاءَ لِيَشْهَدَ مَعَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَوْلَى صَاحِبُ الْمَسْجِدِ: تَقَدَّمْ فَصَلِّ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِي مَسْجِدِكَ مِنِّي "، فَصَلَّى الْمَوْلَى.
Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The iqamah was called in a mosque on the outskirts of Madinah. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) had land near that mosque which he worked. The imam of that mosque was his freed slave, and that freed slave and his companions lived there. When they learned that Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) had come for the prayer, they said: "Go forward and lead the congregation." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "You have more right to lead the congregation in your own mosque." So his freed slave led the congregation.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ هُزَيْلَ بْنَ شُرَحْبِيلَ قَالَ: " جَاءَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى مَسْجِدِنَا فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: تَقَدَّمْ، قَالَ: " يَتَقَدَّمُ إِمَامُكُمْ "، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّ إِمَامَنَا لَيْسَ هَهُنَا، قَالَ: " يَتَقَدَّمُ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ "، فَقَامَ عَلَى دُكَّانٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، قَالَ: فَنَهَاهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ". وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فِي مَعْنَاهُ.
Huzayl bin Shurahbil (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to our mosque, and the iqamah was called. We said: "Go forward and lead the congregation." He said: "Let your imam go forward and lead the congregation." We said: "Our imam is not present here." He said: "Then let someone else go forward." So that man stood on a raised platform in the mosque, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade him from that.
