Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يَعْنِي الْحَدَّادَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ قَالَ الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ زَارَنَا فِي مَسْجِدِنَا قَالَ فَأُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَالُوا أُم
َّنَا رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ لَا يُصَلِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا زَارَ رَجُلٌ قَوْمًا فَلَا يَؤُمَّهُمْ يَؤُمُّهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ

English Translation
Abū ʿUbaydah, meaning al-Ḥaddād, narrated to us, saying: Abān, meaning al-ʿAṭṭār, narrated to us, from Budayl, from Abū ʿAṭiyyah, from Mālik ibn al-Ḥuwayirth (رضي الله عنه) who said: He visited us at our mosque. He said: The iqāmah was called and they said: 'Lead us in prayer, may Allāh have mercy on you.' He said: 'Let one of you lead the prayer and I will pray [behind him]. I will tell you why I will not lead you: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: Whoever visits a people, let him not lead them in prayer. Let one of them lead them.'
