Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2318

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِلْقُرْآنِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The people should be led in prayer by the one who has the most knowledge of the Qur'an." (Or: the one who has memorised the most of the Qur'an.)
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
