Hadith Narrated By Abu Hazim

"Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi used to give preference to the young to lead his people in prayer. It was said to him: "Do you do that, when you have such seniority (in Islam)?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: 'The Imam is responsible. If he does well, then he will have the reward and so will they, but if he does badly, then that will be counted against him but not against them.'" Sahih

"The people differed concerning the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and what it was made of. So they came to Sahl bin Sad and asked him. He said: 'There is no one left who knows more about that than I. It is made of tamarisk (a type of tree) from Ghabah. It was made by so-and-so, the freed slave of so- and-so (a woman), (who was) a carpenter. He brought it and he (the Prophet (saw)) stood on it when it was put in position. He faced the Qiblah and the people stood behind him. He recited Quran, then bowed and raised his head, then he moved backwards until he prostrated on the ground, then he went back to the pulpit and recited Quran, then bowed and raised his head, then he moved backwards until he prostrated on the ground."

that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) never criticized any food. If it pleased him, he would eat it and if it did not he would leave it."
