باب مَنْ أَحَقُّ بِالإِمَامَةِ

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي

Ibn Umar said: when the first emigrants came (to Madina), they stayed at al-‘Asbah (a place near Madina) before the advent of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Salim, the client of Abu Hudhaifah, acted as their imam, as he knew the Quran better than all of them, al-Haitham (the narrator) added: and Umar bin al-Khattab and Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Asad were among them.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِيَاضٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ نَزَلُوا الْعُصْبَةَ قَبْلَ مَقْدَمِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "

فَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا

" ، زَادَ الْهَيْثَمُ : وَفِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَسَدِ .
