٣٤٨٩ - حدثنا أبو خالد الأحمر عن ابن أبي عروبة (عن) (١) قتادة عن أبي نضرة عن أبي سعيد قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إذا كانوا ثلاثة فليؤمهم أحدهم، وأحقهم بالإمامة (٢) أقرؤهم" (٣).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When there are three people, one of them should lead them in prayer, and the most deserving of them to lead is the best reciter."
