Hadith 2112
- (إذا كانُوا ثلاثةً [في سفَرٍ] ؛ فليؤمّهم أحدُهم، وأحقّهم بالإِمامةِ أقرؤُهم) .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When three people are on a journey, one of them should lead the others in prayer, and the one most deserving of this is the one who knows the most of the Qur'an by heart."
