Abu Atiyyah says that once Sayyiduna Malik bin Huwairith came to our mosque. The prayer was established, so the people requested him to lead the prayer, but he refused and said, "Let someone from among you lead the prayer. Afterwards, I will narrate a hadith to you." After the prayer was finished, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person goes to meet someone, he should not lead the prayer; rather, someone from among them should lead the prayer."
