Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3494 — Those who said: the people are led
٣٤٩٤ - حدثنا وكيع عن ثور الشامي عن (مهاصر) (١) (بن) (٢) حبيب عن أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إذا خرج ثلاثة مسلمين في سفر فليؤمهم أقرؤهم لكتاب اللَّه، (وإن) (٣) كان أصغرهم فإذا أمهم فهو أميرهم، وذلك أمير أمره رسول اللَّه (ﷺ) " (٤).
Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When three Muslims are on a journey, the one who is the best reciter of the Qur'an among them shall lead them in prayer, even if he is the youngest of them. And when he leads them in prayer, he is their leader (amir). That is a leader whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has appointed."
