Weak 4 scholars’ grades Sunan Ibn Majah 970

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الإِفْرِيقِيِّ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏

"‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ تُقْبَلُ لَهُمْ صَلاَةٌ الرَّجُلُ يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ، وَالرَّجُلُ لاَ يَأْتِي الصَّلاَةَ إِلاَّ دِبَارًا - يَعْنِي بَعْدَ مَا يَفُوتُهُ الْوَقْتُ - وَمَنِ اعْتَبَدَ مُحَرَّرًا ‏"

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said:

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There are three whose prayer are not accepted: A man who leads people while they do not like him; a man who does not come to prayer until its end – meaning after its time has expired – and one who enslaves a freed person.’”

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 970).

Al-Sindi — Hashiyat al-Sindi on Sunan Ibn Majah

قَوْله ( لَا تُقْبَل إِلَخْ ) قَالُوا الْقَبُول أَخَصّ مِنْ الْإِجْزَاء أَيْ فَلَا يَلْزَم مِنْ عَدَمه عَدَم الْإِجْزَاء وَهُوَ كَوْنه سَبَبًا لِسُقُوطِ التَّكْلِيف وَالْمَقْبُول كَوْنه سَبَبًا لِلثَّوَابِ قَوْله ( يَؤُمّ الْقَوْم ) قِيلَ هُوَ مَحْمُول عَلَى مَنْ لَا يَكُون أَهْلًا لِلْإِمَامَةِ وَيَدْخُل فِيهَا بِالْغَلَبَةِ حَتَّى يَكْرَه النَّاس إِمَامَته وَأَمَّا الْمُسْتَحِقّ لِلْإِمَامَةِ فَاللَّوْم عَلَى مَنْ يَكْرَههُ دُونه وَقَدْ يُقَال إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَقّ بِالْإِمَامَةِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَعْتَبِر رِضَاهُمْ بِإِمَامَتِهِ لِهَذَا الْحَدِيث قَوْله ( إِلَّا دِبَارًا ) بِكَسْرِ الدَّال أَيْ بَعْدَمَا يَفُوت وَقْتهَا وَقِيلَ هُوَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذهُ عَادَة حَتَّى يَكُون حُضُوره لِلصَّلَاة…

Good (hasan) Jami' at-Tirmidhi 360

Allah's Messenger said: "There are three whose Salat would not rise up beyond their ears: The runaway slave until he returns, a woman who spends a night while her husband is angry with her, and a people's Imam whom they dislike."

"‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ تُجَاوِزُ صَلاَتُهُمْ آذَانَهُمُ الْعَبْدُ الآبِقُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ وَامْرَأَةٌ بَاتَتْ وَزَوْجُهَا عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ وَإِمَامُ قَوْمٍ وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ ‏"

a man who acts as imam for people when they do not like him, a woman with whom her husband is displeased throughout the night, and two brothers* who are disunited.” * The word here is most probably used in the widest sense, meaning two Muslims. Ibn Majah transmitted it.

" ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تُرْفَعُ لَهُم صلَاتهم فَوق رؤوسهم شِبْرًا: رَجُلٌ أَمَّ قَوْمًا وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ وَامْرَأَةٌ بَاتَتْ وَزَوْجُهَا عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ وَأَخَوَانِ مُتَصَارِمَانِ "

Weak Sunan Abu Dawud 593

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: There are three types of people whose prayer is not accepted by Allah: One who goes in front of people when they do not like him; a man who comes dibaran, which means that he comes to it too late; and a man who takes into slavery an emancipated male or female slave.

ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ صَلاَةً مَنْ تَقَدَّمَ قَوْمًا وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ وَرَجُلٌ أَتَى الصَّلاَةَ دِبَارًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالدِّبَارُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَفُوتَهُ ‏"‏ وَرَجُلٌ اعْتَبَدَ…

Weak Jami' at-Tirmidhi 358

"Allah's Messenger cursed three people: A man who leads people (in Salat) while they dislike him, a woman who spends a night while her husband is angry with her, and a man who hears: 'Hayya Alal Falah (come to success)' then does not respond."

لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثَةً رَجُلٌ أَمَّ قَوْمًا وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ وَامْرَأَةٌ بَاتَتْ وَزَوْجُهَا عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ وَرَجُلٌ سَمِعَ حَىَّ عَلَى الْفَلاَحِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُجِبْ ‏.‏
