Is there a hadith that states, "If the Imam leads the prayer properly, its thawab (reward) will be given both to the jamaah (congregation) and the Imam. If he leads it deficiently, the responsibility belongs to the Imam only."?

Dear Brother / Sister,

-The following is narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

"A person who is leading a jamaah (congregation) should fear from Allah and avoid disobeying Him and be aware that he has taken on a task for which he will be held responsible and this is so important that if he performs this task properly, he will gain the thawabs (reward) of the people who is behind him without any decrease. If he performs his task deficiently, this deficiency will belong to him." (see. Majmauz'-Zawaid, 2/66).

-Ukba b. Amir al-Juani narrates: I heard the following from the prophet (PBUH):

"If a person who is leading a jamaah (congregation) performs the prayer properly, this will be perfect both for him and for them. If he does not perform his duty properly, the prayer of the jamaah will be valid; however, he becomes sinful." (see. Ahmad b. Hanbal, 4/145, 154; Abu Dawud, Salat, 58; see.Majmauz'-Zawaid, 2/68).
