358. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ cursed three people: A man who leads people (in Ṣalāt) while they dislike him, a woman who spends a night while her husband is angry with her, and a man who hears: 'Ḥayya 'Ala-Falāḥ' (come to success)' then does not respond." (Ḍa'if)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Ṭalḥah, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr and Abū Umāmah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Anas is not correct, because it has been reported from Al-Ḥasan,
from the Prophet ﷺ (which is) Mursal.
Abū 'Eisā said: Muḥammad bin Al-Qāsim (one of the narrators) has been criticized by Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, and he graded him weak. He is not a Hāfīz.[1]
There are those among the people of knowledge who dislike for a man to lead a people in Salāt while they dislike him. If the Imām is not an oppressor, then the sin is only on those who dislike him.
Aḥmad and Ishāq said about this: There is no harm if one, two or three people dislike him – not until most of the people dislike him.

Commentary
1. If a husband is angry because of his wife being ill-mannered, disrespectful and disobedient, she deserves the curse.
2. A person lagging behind the congregational prayer after having heard the Adhān is subject to curse too. [Mirqāt: 2/19]
