ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنَ الِاقْتِدَاءِ بِصَلَاةِ إِمَامِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُقَصِّرًا فِي بَعْضِ حَقَائِقِهَا

[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: 'There will come a time when there will be people who will perform the prayer, so if they complete it, it is for you and for them. But if they fall short, it is their own responsibility and also yours.'"  

ابن حبّان:٢٢٢٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْإِفْرِيقِيِّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «سَيَأْتِي أَقْوَامٌ أَوْ يَكُونُ أَقْوَامٌ يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنْ أَتَمُّوا فَلَكُمْ وَلَهُمْ وَإِنْ نَقَصُوا فَعَلَيْهِمْ وَلَكُمْ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Imam is a shield, so if he completes (his duties), then there is for you (reward), and if he lacks (in his duties), then the deficiency is upon him, and it is for you to complete (your responsibilities)."  

الطبراني:١٨٧٨٤حَدَّثَنَا الْمِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْمَدِينِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ فَإِنْ أَتَمَّ فَلَكُمْ وَإِنْ نَقَصَ فَعَلَيْهِ النُّقْصَانُ وَلَكُمُ التَّمَامُ»
