   • 7th century CE, Sunan Abī Dāwud, 2:203:

     «ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللّٰهُ مِنْهُمْ صَلَاةً مَنْ تَقَدَّمَ قَوْمًا وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ وَرَجُلٌ أَتَى الصَّلَاةَ دِبَارًا […] وَرَجُلٌ اِعْتَبَدَ مُحَرَّرَهُ»‏.‏

     “ṯalāṯatun lā yaqbalu llāhu minhum ṣalātan man taqaddama qawman wahum lahū kārihūna warajulun ʔatā ṣ-ṣalāta dibāran […] warajulun iʕtabada muḥarrarahū”.

     There are three kinds of people of which Allah does not accept the prayer, those who go in front of people whilst the latter hate this, those who lag behind, and those who take as slaves their freedmen.
