The Meaning of the Hadith: An Imam Who Prays with a People Who Dislike Him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the interpretation of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Three whose prayers are not raisedثلاثة لا ترفع صلاتهم
regarding their heads, and he mentioned among them an imam who prays with a people who dislike him, or as he said it? And what is the criterion for the ma'mum's love for the imam, or their desire for him?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. If a man leads a people in prayer and they dislike him, and they dislike him for a valid reason, that is different. As for personal dislike, no. If they dislike him because he is an innovator, because he has an error in his religion or his creed, this is dislike for a valid reason, dislike for a valid reason. But personal, psychological dislike, no, that does not harm the imam. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
