حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : "

إِذَا كَانَ ثَلَاثَةٌ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلْيُؤَمِّرُوا أَحَدَهُمْ

" ، قَالَ نَافِعٌ : فَقُلْنَا لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ : فَأَنْتَ أَمِيرُنَا .
