ثلاث لا يحل لأحد أن يفعلهن: لا يؤم رجل قوما فيخص نفسه بالدعاء دونهم، فإن فعل فقد خانهم، ولا ينظر فى قعر بيت إلا أن يستأذن، فإن فعل فقد خانهم، ولا يصلي وهو حقن حتى يتخفف
"There are three actions that are not permissible for anyone: No person should lead the people in prayer and then pray only for himself, if he does so, he has betrayed them. No one should look into someone's house through a hole without permission, and if he does so, he has betrayed them. And one should not pray while holding back urine (rather, he should relieve himself first and then pray)."
