Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلِمَةَ قَالَ كَانَتْ تَأْتِينَا الرُّكْبَانُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَسْتَقْرِئُهُمْ فَيُحَدِّثُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْثَرُكُمْ قُرْآنًا.
English Translation
Ali ibn Asim told us: Khalid al-Hadhdha informed me, from Abu Qilabah, from Amr ibn Salamah, who said: The riders used to come to us from the direction of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we would ask them to recite [what they knew of the Qur'an], and they would relate that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let the one among you with the most Qur'an lead you in prayer."
