A question about some of the rulings of leading the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My master, you are familiar with this mosque of al-Salihin. All of us, if Allah wills, pray in al-Salihin. Sometimes the imam or others are late. When it is time for Fajr, one of them does not make this supplication. They say, "Why didn't you make the supplication? What did we benefit from the prayer?" At first, I told them, "This is not prescribed. Just pray the witr." They said, "How do you know that?" I said, "I don't know for sure." So they are all strict that we must make the supplication. What is your opinion? Sometimes it is my turn to lead, so I make the supplication?

The Shaykh : I did not understand what your question is, Abu Ahmad. What is your question? I understood the story, but what is your question?

The questioner : We do not want to lead them, and we do not go with them. We do not make the qunut in Fajr, or we do not make it.

The Shaykh : We have advised you: do not lead the people. You are the king outside; you are the imam.

The questioner : Twice a month or twice a year.

The Shaykh : Especially since they are objecting to you. Tell them, "Please, my brother, please, you pray." You should leave it alone. Why do you attack the imamate? The imamate is not a game. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The imam is a guarantor الإمام ضامن
So you are responsible for the validity of the congregational prayer. What do you want...
