حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِئَتَيْنِ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَي عَمْرُو بْنُ سَلِمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّهُمْ وَفَدُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْصَرِفُوا قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ يَؤُمُّنَا ؟ قَالَ: أَكْثَرُكُمْ جَمْعًا لِلْقُرْآنِ، أَوْ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ جَمَعَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا جَمَعْتُ، قَالَ: فَقَدَّمُونِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ، فَكُنْتُ أَؤُمُّهُمْ وَعَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ لِي. قَالَ: فَمَا شَهِدْتُ مَجْمَعًا مِنْ جَرْمٍ إِلَّا كُنْتُ إِمَامَهُمْ، وَأُصَلِّي عَلَى جَنَائِزِهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا

✧ They came as a delegation to the Prophet ﷺ, and when they wanted to leave, they said, “O Messenger of Allah, who will lead us in prayer?” He said, “The one among you who has memorized the most Quran, or taken the most of the Quran.” He said: There was no one among the people who had memorized as much of the Quran as I had. He said: So they put me forward while I was a boy, and I used to lead them in prayer wearing a small cloak of mine. He said: I have not attended any gathering of Jarm except that I was their imam, and I pray over their dead up to this day of mine.
