أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ أَبِي حَامِدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، ثنا مِسْعَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ وَكَانَ شَيْخًا كَيِّسًا حِيَّ الْفُؤَادِ، حَدَّثَنَاهُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: " قَدِمَ قَوْمِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ مَا قَرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ، فَلَمَّا قَضَوْا حَوَائِجَهُمْ فَسَأَلُوهُ: مَنْ يَؤُمُّهُمْ؟ فَقَالَ: " أَكْثَرُكُمْ جَمْعًا لِلْقُرْآنِ، أَوْ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ ". قَالَ: فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَسَأَلُوهُمْ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا أَحَدًا أَجْمَعَ أَوْ آخِذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ مِنِّي، قَالَ: فَقَدَّمُونِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ، وَكُنْتُ أُصَلِّي لَهُمْ أَوْ أُصَلِّي بِهِمْ، قَالَ: فَمَا شَهِدْتُ مَجْمَعًا إِلَّا كُنْتُ إِمَامَهُمْ ".
Sayyiduna Amr bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that my people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When they had read the Qur'an and fulfilled their needs, they asked who should lead them in prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who has memorised the most Qur'an." When they came back to their people, they asked about this, but no one had memorised more Qur'an than me. They put me forward while I was a boy, and I would lead them in prayer. Whenever there was a gathering, I was their imam.
