694

Chapter 10 · Call to Prayers (Adhaan)
Sahih

إِذَا لَمْ يُتِمَّ الإِمَامُ وَأَتَمَّ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ

If the imam does not perform (the prayer) completely, but those behind him do

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يُصَلُّونَ لَكُمْ، فَإِنْ أَصَابُوا فَلَكُمْ، وَإِنْ أَخْطَئُوا فَلَكُمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ ".

حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَشْيَبُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “They lead you in prayer. If they do it rightly, it is for you; and if they err, it is for you and against them.”

Translator’s note: That is: the reward of the prayer is yours; an error counts only against the imams.

Abu Huraira berichtete, dass der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ sagte: „Sie leiten euch im Gebet. Wenn sie es richtig machen, dann ist es für euch; und wenn sie Fehler machen, dann ist es für euch und gegen sie.“

Translator’s note: Gemeint ist: Der Lohn des Gebets kommt euch zugute; ein Fehler fällt nur auf die Imame zurück.

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.), Resûlullah'ın ﷺ şöyle buyurduğunu rivayet etti: “Size namaz kıldırırlar. Doğru kıldırırlarsa (sevabı) sizin lehinizedir; hata ederlerse sizin lehinize, onların aleyhinedir.”

Translator’s note: Yani namazın sevabı size aittir; hata ise yalnızca imamların aleyhinedir.
