Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3539 — A boy leading the prayer before
٣٥٣٩ - حدثنا عبدة عن هشام عن (أبيه) (١) قال: لما قدم الأشعث قدم غلاما فعابوا ذلك عليه، فقال: ما قدمته، (ولكني) (٢) قدمت القرآن (٣).
Hisham reports from his father that when Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, he put a boy forward to lead the prayer, and the people criticised him for it. At that, Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath said: "I did not put him forward; rather, I put the Qur'an forward."
