[Machine] And Ismail said: "Once, the people passed by us on their way back from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . So, I approached them and listened until I memorized the Quran. The people were waiting for the conquest of Makkah to embrace Islam. When Makkah was conquered, a man would come to the Messenger of Allah and say, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am the envoy of the tribe of so-and-so, and I have come to embrace Islam.' Then, my father would go to his people to announce their Islam and return to them. So, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Let those who have memorized the most Quran among you come forward.' They looked and I was only a boy, yet they did not find anyone who had memorized more Quran than me. They brought me forward, and I led them in prayer while I was wearing a sheet. Whenever I bowed or prostrated, my nakedness would be exposed. After we finished praying, an elderly woman said to us, 'O people, I have been blind for a long time, so protect us from your reader.' They cut a piece of their garment for me as I remembered how happy he, the Prophet, was with it, very delighted."
