Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2319

وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ : كَانَ يَأْتِينَا الرُّكْبَانُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَيُحَدِّثُونَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْثَرُكُمْ قُرْآنًا " .
قُلْتُ : حَدِيثُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي الصَّحِيحِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ عَنِ الرُّكْبَانِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Amr bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Riders used to come to us from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they would tell us that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let the one who knows the most Qur'an lead you in prayer." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadith of Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) from his father is mentioned in the Sahih, and this is his hadith narrated from the riders.
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it, and the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
