Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

16
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، كَانَ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ بِالْعَقِيقِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَنَهَاهُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَإِنَّمَا نَهَاهُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ لاَ يُعْرَفُ أَبُوهُ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a manused to lead the people in prayer in al-Aqiq (a place near Madina),and Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz sent a message to him forbidding him to doso.Malik said, "He only forbade him because his father wasnot known."
