[Machine] He used to come to our mosque, and when the prayer was established, he was told to come forward and lead us in prayer. He replied, "One of you should lead the prayer until I inform you why I do not pray with you." When the people finished praying, he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When one of you visits a people, he should not pray with them, but should let one of them lead the prayer.'"  

أحمد:٢٠٥٣٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا بُدَيْلُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَطِيَّةَ مَوْلًى مِنَّا عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ

[Machine] He used to come to our mosque, so it was said to him "please step forward and lead the prayer." He replied, "Let one of you lead the prayer for you until I inform you why I do not lead the prayer for you." So when the people had finished praying, he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When one of you visits a people, let him not lead the prayer for them, rather let a man from among them lead.'"
