Chapter 2 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)الإِمَامِ يَتَطَوَّعُ فِي مَكَانِهِ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْقُرَشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءٌ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ، عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا يُصَلّيِ الْإِمَامُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ حَتَّى يَتَحَوَّلَ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: عَطَاءٌ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ.

On The Imam Praying Voluntary Prayers In His Place
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The Imam should not pray at the place where he led the prayer until he removes (from there). Abu Dawud said: Ata al-Khurasani did not see Mughirah bin Shubah رضی اللہ عنہ (This tradition is, therefore munqati', i.e. a link is missing in the chain).
