Hadith 2544

(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُمْ وَفَدُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْصَرِفُوا، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَنْ يُؤُمُّنَا؟ قَالَ: ((أَكْثَرُكُمْ جَمْعًا لِلْقُرْآنِ أَوْ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ))، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ جَمَعَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا جَمَعْتُ، قَالَ: فَقَدَّمُونِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ، فَكُنْتُ أُؤُمُّهُمْ وَعَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ لِي، قَالَ: فَمَا شَهِدْتُّ مَجْمَعًا مِنْ جِرْمٍ إِلَّا كُنْتُ إِمَامَهُمْ وَأُصَلِّي عَلَى جَنَائِزِهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَٰذَا
(Second chain) Their father says: We went to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. When we intended to return, we asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who will lead us in prayer? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The one among you who has memorized the most Qur'an. Sayyiduna Amr bin Salamah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: There was no one in our tribe who had memorized as much Qur'an as I had. Therefore, they put me forward, even though I was still a boy. I used to lead them in prayer, and I had only a small sheet over me. Whenever I attended any gathering in Jurm (the name of a place), I would be their imam, and to this day, I have continued to lead their funeral prayers.
