[Machine] I was a young boy and I used to receive passengers from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , then I would recite to them. They would inform me that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Let the one among you who knows the most Quran lead you in prayer." So, I used to lead them.

كُنْتُ غُلَامًا وَكُنْتُ أَتَلَقَّى الرُّكْبَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْتَقْرِئُهُمْ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْثَرُكُمْ قُرْآنًا» فَكُنْتُ أَؤُمُّهُمْ
