Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ فِيهِ " وَلاَ يَؤُمُّ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ كَذَا قَالَ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ " أَقْدَمُهُمْ قِرَاءَةً " .
Translation
Ibn Muʿadh narrated to us: My father narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us this report, which includes: ‘A man should not lead another in the latter’s sphere of authority.’ Abu Dawud said: Yahya al-Qattan likewise narrated from Shuʿbah: ‘the most experienced of them in recitation.’
