When they returned, they said: 'We have been ordered to do such and such, and we have also been ordered that the one of us who knows the most Qur'an should lead us in prayer.' So they looked among the people of their spring (the people of the settlement), and no one knew more Qur'an than me. They made me their imam, while at that time I was wearing a small sheet which, when I prostrated, barely reached my buttocks. Then a woman of the tribe said: 'Cover the buttocks of this reciter of yours from us!' So they bought a cloth for me from this 'uqdah, and then a woman of the tribe cut a shirt out of it for me.
