[Machine] "On the day of victory, people started passing by us. They came from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I was a young boy reading (the Quran). Then my father brought his people to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to embrace Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever among you knows the most Quran should lead you in prayer.' They looked at me, knowing that I knew the most Quran. A woman said, 'Cover your reciter.' So they bought him a garment. I have never been happier than I was on that day."  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْفَتْحِ جَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْنَا قَدْ جَاءُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكُنْتُ أَقْرَأُ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَجَاءَ أَبِي بِإِسْلَامِ قَوْمِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَؤُمُّكُمْ أَكْثَرُكُمْ قُرْآنًا فَنَظَرُوا فَكُنْتُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا قَالَ فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ غَطُّوا اسْتَ قَارِئِكُمْ قَالَ فَاشْتَرَوْا لَهُ بُرْدَةً قَالَ فَمَا فَرِحْتُ أَشَدَّ مِنْ فَرَحِي بِذَلِكَ  

[Machine] That his father and a group from his people came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when his matter became clear, and the people were learning the Qur'an and fulfilling their needs. Then they asked him, "Who will lead us in prayer? Or who will pray with us?" So, he said, "I will pray for you or with you, whichever is more pleasing to you, whether collectively for the Qur'an or individually for the Qur'an." So they went back to their people and asked about me in the neighborhood, but they did not find anyone who had gathered more than I had gathered. So they brought me forward among them and I prayed with them while I was still a young boy. He said, "I did not witness any gathering of wrongdoing, except that I was their imam until this day."  

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ وَنَفَرًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَفَدُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ ظَهَرَ أَمْرُهُ وَتَعَلَّمَ النَّاسُالْقُرْآَنَ فَقَضَوْا حَوَائِجَهُمْ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ مَنْ يُصَلِّي لَنَا؟ أَوْ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فَقَالَ يُصَلِّي لَكُمْ أَوْ بِكُمْ أَكْثَرُكُمْ جَمْعًا لِلْقُرْآنِ أَوْ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ فَقَدِمُوا عَلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَسَأَلُوا فِي الْحَيِّ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا أَحَدًا جَمَعَ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا جَمَعْتُ فَقَدَّمُونِي بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَصَلَّيْتُ بِهِمْ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ عَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ لِي قَالَ فَمَا شَهِدْتُ مَجْمَعًا مِنْ جَرْمٍ إِلَّا كُنْتُ إِمَامَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا  

[Machine] "They used to come to us as caravans from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so we would read to them and they would inform us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The one who has memorized the most Quran among you should lead the prayer.'"  

كَانُوا يَأْتُونَا الرُّكْبَانُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَسْتَقْرِئُهُمْ فَيُحَدِّثُونَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْثَرُكُمْ قُرْآنًا
