حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ: نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ ضَمْعَجٍ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً فَإِنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُمْ سَوَاءً فَأَقْدَمُهُمْ سِنًّا، فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي السِّنِّ سَوَاءً فَأَقْرَؤُهُمْ ".

ومداره على إسماعيل بن رجاء عن أوس بن ضمعج عنه وليسا جميعا من شرط البخاري وقد نقل ابن أبي حاتم في العلل عن أبيه أن شعبة كان يتوقف في صحة هذا الحديث ولكن هو في الجملة يصلح للاحتجاج به عند البخاري
machine translationIts transmission revolves around Ismāʿīl b. Rajāʾ, from Aws b. Ḍamʿaj, from him. Neither of the two meets the condition of al-Bukhārī. Ibn Abī Ḥātim reported in al-ʿIlal from his father that Shuʿbah used to withhold judgement on the authenticity of this hadith. However, in general it is suitable to be used as evidence according to al-Bukhārī.
