Imaamat as Mentioned in Hadith

Hadith 1: It is reported in Abu Dawud from Ibn Ab’bas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘The virtuous amongst you should announce the Azaan and the Qur’ra (Qaari) should perform the Imaamat’ (i.e. lead the congregational prayer). (In that era, the person who knew the Qur’an more was regarded as the one more learned).

Hadith 2: It is reported in the narration of Sahih Muslim from Abu Sa’eed Khudri رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that the one most deserving of the position of Imaamat is one who knows the Qur’an more.

Hadith 3: The Narration of Abu Shaykh from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘The Imam and the Mu’azzin receive reward (Thawaab) equivalent to all those who performed (Namaaz) with them’.

Hadith 4: Abu Atiyah Aqeeli رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ says that Maalik bin Huwairith رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ used to come to visit us. Once (whilst he was visiting), it was the time of Namaaz, so we asked him to go in front and lead the Namaaz. He said, send one from amongst you in front, so that he may lead the Namaaz and let me tell you why I am not leading the prayer. I heard Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم saying, ‘When one goes to visit a people, then he should not lead them in prayer, rather one from amongst them should lead them in prayer.’ [Reported by Abu Dawud and Tirmizi]

Hadith 5: It is reported in Tirmizi from Ibn Majah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘The Namaaz of 3 persons never exceeds their ears; (1) a runaway (legal) slave until such time that he returns; (2) that female who passes the night in the state whereby her husband is displeased with her; (3) and the Imam of a people who for some reason disapprove of his Imaamat (for some valid reason of Shariah).’

Hadith 6: The Narration of Ibn Majah from Ibn Ab’bas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ is as follows: The Namaaz of 3 persons does not pass even one span above their heads; One who leads a Nation in Imaamat and they think ill of him (i.e. they disapprove); and that woman who passed her night in the condition whereby her husband is displeased with her; and two Muslims brothers, who leave each other because of some worldly reason.

Hadith 7: It is reported by Abu Dawud And Ibn Majah from Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘The Namaaz of 3 person is not accepted; The one who is in front of the people, in other words he makes their Imaamat and they disapprove of him; and that person who comes after showing his back to the Namaaz, in other words he reads after the Namaaz has ended; and that person who enslaved a free man.’

]Hadith 8: It is reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah from Salamah bint Hur رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said; ‘It is from amongst the signs of Qiyaamat that the Ahl-e-Imaamat will place the responsibility amongst one another. They will not find anyone worthy of leading them in Namaaz.’ (In other words, none will have the qualification to lead them in prayer).

Hadith 9: It is reported in Sihah Sit’ta (except Bukhari) from Ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Neither perform Imaamat in the home of a person, or in his kingdom (territory), nor sit on his Masnad (i.e. throne or a specific sitting place of stature), except with his permission.’

Hadith 10: It is reported by Shaykhain etc. from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When one leads others in Namaaz, then read short (Surahs), because there are also the ill, the weak and the elderly amongst them; and when one leads his own people in prayer then he may read as lengthy as he wishes.’

Hadith 11: It is reported by Bukhari from Abu Qatadah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘I enter into Namaaz and have an intention of reciting at length, when I hear the crying of children; so I shorten (the recitation), for I am aware that the child’s crying will cause grief to the mother.’

Hadith 12: It is reported in Muslim from Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that once Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم lead us in Namaaz and after completion, He  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم directed his holy attention towards us and said; ‘O people! I am your Imam. Do not make Ruku, Sujood, Qiyaam or go away (complete Namaaz) before I do, for I see you from in front and from behind.’

Hadith 13: Imam Maalik reports from him (Anas) as well in this manner that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The hair on the forehead (forelock) of one who raises and bows his head before the Imam is in the hand of shaitaan.’

Hadith 14: It is reported by Shaykhain etc from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Does the one who raises his head before the Imam does, not fear that Allah may turn his head into the head of a donkey.’ Some Muhadith have mentioned that Imam Nawawi رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ went to Damascus to acquire knowledge of Hadith from a very famous person there, and he learnt a lot from him, but he used to wear a veil whilst teaching. He studied under him for a very long period but was never able to see his face. When a very lengthy period of time passed and he noticed that he (Imam Nawawi رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ) had a great zest to learn Hadith, then one day, he removed the veil from his face. What does (Imam Nawawi رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ) see? The face of the teacher is similar to that of a donkey. He said, ‘Son! Fear going before the Imam! When this Hadith reached me I thought it was doubtful, so I intentionally preceded (i.e. went before) the Imam, so my face became as you are seeing it.

Hadith 15: It is reported by Abu Dawud from Thaubaan رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that three things are not Halaal (legal) upon a person; When any person leads a people (i.e. makes Imaamat), then he should not specifically make Dua for himself by leaving them out (in Dua). If he does this, then he has betrayed their trust; and do not look into the house of anyone without permission, and if he did so, then he has been distrustful; and do not hold back urine and stool and make Namaaz, but you should relieve yourself (first).’
Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 3)
