وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَنْ أَمَّ قَوْمًا وَفِيهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْرَأُ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي سَفَالٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَفِيهِ: الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ عُقَابٍ قَالَ الْأَزْدِيُّ : لَا يُعْرَفُ، قُلْتُ : ذَكَرَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ فِي الثِّقَاتِ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever leads a people in prayer while among them there is someone who has more knowledge of the Book of Allah Almighty than him (i.e. who has memorised more verses than him), he will remain in lowliness until the Day of Resurrection."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains al-Haytham bin Uqab. Al-Azdi said: He is not known. I say: Ibn Hibban mentioned him in his book al-Thiqat.
