Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ فِي سَفَرٍ وَمَعَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ إِنَّكَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُمَّنَا فَقَالَ لَا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَأَصَابَ الْوَقْتَ وَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ فَلَهُ وَلَهُمْ وَمَنْ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَعَلَيْهِ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ.
English Translation
Al-Hakam ibn Nafi' narrated to us, he said: Ibn 'Ayyash narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Harmalah al-Aslami, from Abu 'Ali al-Hamdani, who said: I went out on a journey and 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir was with us. We said to him, "You, may Allah have mercy on you, are one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so lead us in prayer." He said, "No. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, 'Whoever leads people in prayer, and gets the time right and completes the prayer, its reward is for him and for them; and whoever falls short in any of that, its burden is upon him and not upon them.'"
