حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنِي مِسْعَرٌ الْجَرْمِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ سَلَمَةَ
أَنَّ أَبَاهُ وَأُنَاسًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَسْلَمَ النَّاسُ وَتَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَقَضَوْا حَوَائِجَهُمْ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَنْ يُصَلِّي بِنَا؟ أَوْ مَنْ يُصَلِّي لَنَا؟ قَالَ يُصَلِّي بِكُمْ أَوْ يُصَلِّي لَكُمْ أَكْثَرُكُمْ أَخْذًا أَوْ قَالَ أَكْثَرُكُمْ جَمْعًا لِلْقُرْآنِ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَسَأَلُوهُمْ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا أَحَدًا جَمَعَ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا جَمَعْتُ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ عَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ فَقَدَّمُونِي بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَصَلَّيْتُ بِهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ فَصَلَّيْتُ لَهُمْ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ إِمَامَ جَرْمٍ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا وَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ فِي مَسْجِدِهِمْ وَيُصَلِّي عَلَى جَنَائِزِهِمْ

✧ His father and some people of his tribe came to the Messenger of God ﷺ when the people had embraced Islam, and they learned the Qur'an and fulfilled their needs. Then they asked the Prophet ﷺ, 'Who should lead us in prayer?' or 'Who should pray for us?' He said, 'The one among you who has taken the most of the Qur'an should lead you,' or he said, 'The one among you who has gathered the most Qur'an.' They returned to their people and asked them, and they found no one who had gathered more than I had, while I was a boy wearing a shroud-like garment. So they put me forward, and I prayed with them—or he said, I prayed for them—and I have remained the imam of Jarm to this day. He led them in their mosque and prayed over their funerals.
