حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْثًا، وَهُمْ نَفَرٌ فَدَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَاذَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ؟ "، فَاسْتَقْرَأَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ هُوَ مِنْ أَحْدَثِهِمْ سِنًّا، قَالَ: " مَاذَا مَعَكَ يَا فُلَانُ ؟ " قَالَ: مَعِيَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَسُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ، قَالَ: " اذْهَبْ، فَأَنْتَ أَمِيرُهُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched an expedition, and they were a small group. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called them and said: "How much of the Qur'an do you have with you?" He examined them one by one until he came to a man among them who was the youngest of them. He said: "How much do you have with you, O so-and-so?" He said: "I have such-and-such and Surah al-Baqarah." He said: "Go, for you are their commander."
