Hadith 1511

أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، " أَنَّ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ، لَمَّا قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ ، نَزَلُوا إِلَى جَنْبِ قُبَاءَ ، حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاةُ ، أَمَّهُمْ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا ، مِنْهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَسْدِ " , هَذَا حَدِيثُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سِنَانٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Muhajirun arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, they settled on one side of Quba. When the time for prayer came, Sayyiduna Salim (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), led them in prayer, because he had memorized the most Qur'an among them. Among those Muhajirun were also such eminent Companions as Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab and Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Asad (may Allah be pleased with them both). This hadith is from Ahmad bin Sinan.
