حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ وَاصِلٍ الْحَدَّادُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ الْجَرْمِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلِمَةَ الْجَرْمِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، وَنَفَرًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَفَدُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ ظَهَرَ أَمْرُهُ، وَتَعَلَّمَ النَّاسُ، ، الْقُرْآَنَ، (١) فَقَضَوْا حَوَائِجَهُمْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ مَنْ يُصَلِّي لَنَا؟، أَوْ يُصَلِّي بِنَا، فَقَالَ: " يُصَلِّي لَكُمْ، أَوْ بِكُمْ، (٢) أَكْثَرُكُمْ جَمْعًا لِلْقُرْآنِ، أَوْ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ، " فَقَدِمُوا عَلَى قَوْمِهِمْ، فَسَأَلُوا فِي الْحَيِّ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا أَحَدًا جَمَعَ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا جَمَعْتُ، فَقَدَّمُونِي بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، فَصَلَّيْتُ بِهِمْ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ عَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ لِي، قَالَ: فَمَا شَهِدْتُ مَجْمَعًا مِنْ جَرْمٍ إِلَّا كُنْتُ إِمَامَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا (٣)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Amr bin Salamah that a delegation from his tribe presented themselves before the Prophet (peace be upon him). When they intended to return, they asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who will lead us in prayer?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The one among you who knows the most Qur'an." At that time, no one knew more Qur'an than I did, so despite being young, they put me forward. Whenever I led them in prayer, I would have a single sheet over me. After that, in every gathering of the tribe of Jurm that I attended, I led them in prayer, and to this day, I am still leading them in prayer.
