حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ الْعُصْبَةَ مَوْضِعٌ بِقُبَاءٍ قَبْلَ مَقْدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا " .
Narrated Ibn `Umar: When the earliest emigrants came to Al-`Usba [??] a place in Quba', before the arrival of the Prophet- Salim, the slave of Abu Hudhaifa, who knew the Qur'an more than the others used to lead them in prayer.
وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَؤُمُّهَا عَبْدُهَا ذَكْوَانُ مِنَ الْمُصْحَفِ وَوَلَدِ الْبَغِيِّ وَالْأَعْرَابِيِّ وَالْغُلَامِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ ، لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ .
And the leadership in prayer of ‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), as her slave Dhakwan used to lead her in prayer while looking at the Qur’an. And the mention of the leadership in prayer by a child born out of wedlock, a Bedouin, and an underage boy, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The one who recites the Book of Allah best should lead the prayer. And a slave should not be prevented from joining the congregation without a specific excuse.
