Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4392

وَعَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، وَكَانَ شَابًّا : وَفَدْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدَنِي أَفْضَلَهُمْ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ ، وَقَدْ فَضَلْتُهُمْ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قَدْ أَمَّرْتُكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ وَأَنْتَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ . فَإِذَا أَمَمْتَ قَوْمًا فَأُمَّهُمْ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ ، فَإِنَّ وَرَاءَكَ الْكَبِيرَ ، وَالصَّغِيرَ ، [ وَالضَّعِيفَ ] ، وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ ، وَإِذَا كُنْتَ مُصَدِّقًا فَلَا تَأْخُذِ الشَّافِعَ وَهِيَ الْمَاخِضُ ، وَلَا الرُّبَّى ، وَلَا فَحْلَ الْغَنَمِ ، وَجَزَرَةُ الرَّجُلِ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْكَ ، وَلَا تَمَسَّ الْقُرْآنَ إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ طَاهِرٌ . وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْعُمْرَةَ هِيَ الْحَجُّ الْأَصْغَرُ ، وَإِنَّ عُمْرَةً [ هِيَ ] خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا ، وَحَجَّةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ عُمْرَةٍ " .
قُلْتُ : فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْهُ قِصَّةُ الْإِمَامَةِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ هِشَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، وَقَدْ ضَعَّفَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ، وَوَثَّقَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ .
Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) related this, when he was a young man: We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a delegation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found that I knew more of the Qur'an than all of them, to the extent that, of all of them, only I knew Surah al-Baqarah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I appoint you as the leader of your companions, even though you are the youngest of them in age. When you lead people in prayer, lead them according to the weakest among them, for behind you will be the old, the young, the weak and people with needs to attend to. When you collect zakah, do not take a pregnant animal, nor an animal kept to provide milk for one's own use, nor the male goat. As for the animal a man has raised for his own eating, he has more right to it than you. Touch the Qur'an only in a state of ablution. And know that Umrah is the lesser Hajj, that an Umrah is better than the world and everything in it, and that performing Hajj is better still than Umrah."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The account about leading the prayer from this is reported in the Sahih.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains Hisham bin Sulayman, whom a group of the Imams declared da'if (weak), while Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) declared him thiqah (trustworthy).
