Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا بُدَيْلُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَطِيَّةَ مَوْلًى مِنَّا عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ كَانَ يَأْتِينَا فِي مُصَلَّانَا فَلَمَّا أُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ قِيلَ لَهُ تَقَدَّمْ فَصَلِّهْ قَالَ لِيُصَلِّ بَعْضُكُمْ حَتَّى أُحَدِّثَكُمْ لِمَ لَا أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْقَوْمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا زَارَ أَحَدُكُمْ قَوْمًا فَلَا يُصَلِّيَنَّ بِهِمْ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ.
English Translation
Affan told us, Aban al-Attar told us, Budayl ibn Maysarah told us, Abu Atiyyah, a client of ours, told us, from Malik ibn al-Huwayrith, who said: He used to come to us at our place of prayer, and when the prayer was established, it was said to him: "Step forward and lead us in prayer." He said: "Let one of you pray until I tell you why I do not lead you in prayer." When the people had prayed, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When one of you visits a people, he should not lead them in prayer; rather, a man from among them should lead them in prayer."
