[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "When there are three individuals on a journey, let one of them lead them in prayer, and the one most knowledgeable of the Quran should lead them."  

البيهقي:٥١٢٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكٍ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانُوا ثَلَاثَةً فِي سَفَرٍ فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ وَأَحَقُّهُمْ بِالْإِمَامَةِ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ  

أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ
bayhaqi:5127Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥasan Fī Ākharīn > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-Rabīʿ b. Sulaymān > al-Shāfiʿī > ʿAbd al-Majīd > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > ʿUbayd b. ʿUmayr > Ājtamaʿat Jamāʿah Fīmā Ḥawl Makkah > Ḥasabt > Fī Aʿlá al-Wādī Hāhunā And Fī al-Ḥaj

[Machine] The prayer was coming to an end when a man from the tribe of Abu Sa'ib, who was a non-Arab, came forward. The person leading the prayer, Mus'ab ibn Makhrama, delayed him and allowed others to go ahead of him. Eventually, the man reached Umar bin Al-Khattab, who did not recognize him or know anything about him until they arrived in Madinah. Upon reaching Madinah, Mus'ab ibn Makhrama introduced him to Umar and said, "Look at me, O Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Believers). This man was non-Arab and had difficulty with the Arabic language. He was participating in Hajj, and I was afraid that some of the pilgrims would hear his recitation and mock him. So, I asked him if I could take his turban, and he allowed me to do so." Umar responded, "Indeed, you did the right thing."  

البيهقي:٥١٢٧أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ فِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ يَقُولُ اجْتَمَعَتْ جَمَاعَةٌ فِيمَا حَوْلَ مَكَّةَ قَالَ حَسَبْتُ أَنْ قَالَ فِي أَعْلَى الْوَادِي هَاهُنَا وَفِي الْحَجِّ قَالَ

فَحَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي السَّائِبِ أَعْجَمِيُّ اللِّسَانِ قَالَ فَأَخَّرَهُ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ وَقَدَّمَ غَيْرَهُ فَبَلَغَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَلَمْ يُعَرِّفْهُ بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى جَاءَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَرَّفَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ أَنْظِرْنِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ أَعْجَمِيَّ اللِّسَانِ وَكَانَ فِي الْحَجِّ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ بَعْضُ الْحَاجِّ قِرَاءَتَهُ فَيَأْخُذَ بِعُجْمَتِهِ فَقَالَ هُنَالِكَ ذَهَبْتَ بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَصَبْتَ
