Sunan Abi Dawud 596 (Book 2, Hadith 206) #20887
Letting Local Community Lead Prayers

SUMMARY: When visiting a place, it is better to let someone from the local community lead the prayer instead of leading it yourself.

Abu 'Atiyyah, a freed slave of us, said: Malik b. al-Huwairith came to this place of prayer of ours, and the iqamah for prayer was called. We said to him: Come forward and lead the prayer. He said to us: Put one of your own men forward to lead you in prayer. I heard the Messenger of Allah say: If anyone visits people, he should not lead them in prayer, but some person of them should lead the prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَطِيَّةَ، مَوْلًى مِنَّا قَالَ كَانَ مَالِكُ بْنُ حُوَيْرِثٍ يَأْتِينَا إِلَى مُصَلاَّنَا هَذَا فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ تَقَدَّمْ فَصَلِّهْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَنَا قَدِّمُوا رَجُلاً مِنْكُمْ يُصَلِّي بِكُمْ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ لِمَ لاَ أُصَلِّي بِكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ زَارَ قَوْمًا فَلاَ يَؤُمَّهُمْ وَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we visit a place, it is better to let someone from the local community lead the prayer instead of leading it ourselves. This shows respect for their customs and traditions as well as humility on our part. It also encourages us to be humble and not think too highly of ourselves or our abilities. We should always remember that we are guests in other people's homes and should act accordingly. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about leadership and how important it is for people to take responsibility for their own actions rather than relying on others to do so.

Leadership can be seen in many aspects of life such as work, school or even within families. It is important for leaders to be humble yet confident in order to effectively guide those around them towards success. By allowing someone from the local community lead prayers when visiting a place, we are showing respect for their customs while also demonstrating our own humility by not assuming that we know best or have all the answers.
