596. It was reported from Abān, from Budail who said: "Abū Aṭiyyah, a freed-slave of ours, narrated to me, he said: 'Mālik bin Huwairith used to come to this prayer place of ours. Once, the Iqāmah was called, so we asked him to lead us in prayer. He replied: 'Let a person among you lead you in prayer, and I will inform you why I do not wish to lead you. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Whoever visits a people, then let him not lead them (in prayer); rather, let a man
among them lead them.” (Hasan)
