Amr bin Salamah said ; we lived at a place where the people would pass by us when they came to the prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. When they returned they would again pass by us. And they used to inform us that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said so –and-so. I was a boy with a good memory. From the ( process) I memorized a large portion of the Quran. Then my father went to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم along with a group of his clan. He (the Prophet) taught them prayer. And he said: The one of you who knows most of the Quran should act as your imam. I knew the Quran better than most of them because I had memorized it. They, therefore, put me in front of them, and I would lead them in prayer. I wore a small yellow mantle which, when I prostrated myself, went up on me, and a woman of the clan said: Cover the back side of your leader from us. So they bought an ‘Ammani shirt for me, and I have never been so pleased about anything after embracing Islam as I was about that (shirt). I used to lead them in prayer and I was only seven or eight year old.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا بِحَاضِرٍ يَمُرُّ بِنَا النَّاسُ إِذَا أَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَانُوا إِذَا رَجَعُوا مَرُّوا بِنَا فَأَخْبَرُونَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَا وَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكُنْتُ غُلَامًا حَافِظًا فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قُرْآنًا كَثِيرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْطَلَقَ أَبِي وَافِدًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَعَلَّمَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَؤُمُّكُمْ أَقْرَؤُكُمْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكُنْتُ أَقْرَأَهُمْ لِمَا كُنْتُ أَحْفَظُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدَّمُونِي فَكُنْتُ أَؤُمُّهُمْ وَعَلَيَّ بُرْدَةٌ لِي صَغِيرَةٌ صَفْرَاءُ فَكُنْتُ إِذَا سَجَدْتُ تَكَشَّفَتْ عَنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ:‏‏‏‏ وَارُوا عَنَّا عَوْرَةَ قَارِئِكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاشْتَرَوْا لِي قَمِيصًا عُمَانِيًّا فَمَا فَرِحْتُ بِشَيْءٍ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَرَحِي بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكُنْتُ أَؤُمُّهُمْ وَأَنَا ابْنُ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ أَوْ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ.

عمرو بن سلمہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں ہم ایسے مقام پر ( آباد ) تھے جہاں سے لوگ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس آتے جاتے گزرتے تھے، تو جب وہ لوٹتے تو ہمارے پاس سے گزرتے اور ہمیں بتاتے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ایسا ایسا فرمایا ہے، اور میں ایک اچھے حافظہ والا لڑکا تھا، اس طرح سے میں نے بہت سا قرآن یاد کر لیا تھا، چنانچہ میرے والد اپنی قوم کے کچھ لوگوں کے ساتھ وفد کی شکل میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں گئے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے انہیں نماز سکھائی اور فرمایا: تم میں لوگوں کی امامت وہ کرے جو سب سے زیادہ قرآن پڑھنے والا ہو ، اور میں ان میں سب سے زیادہ قرآن پڑھنے والا تھا اس لیے کہ میں قرآن یاد کیا کرتا تھا، لہٰذا لوگوں نے مجھے آگے بڑھا دیا، چنانچہ میں ان کی امامت کرتا تھا اور میرے جسم پر ایک چھوٹی زرد رنگ کی چادر ہوتی، تو جب میں سجدہ میں جاتا تو میری شرمگاہ کھل جاتی، چنانچہ ایک عورت نے کہا: تم لوگ اپنے قاری ( امام ) کی شرمگاہ ہم سے چھپاؤ، تو لوگوں نے میرے لیے عمان کی بنی ہوئی ایک قمیص خرید دی، چنانچہ اسلام کے بعد مجھے جتنی خوشی اس سے ہوئی کسی اور چیز سے نہیں ہوئی، ان کی امامت کے وقت میں سات یا آٹھ برس کا تھا ۱؎۔

Amr bin Salamah reported on the authority of his father (Salamah) that they visited the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. When they intended to return, they said: Messenger of Allah, who will lead us in prayer? He said: The one of you who knows most of the Quran, or memorizes most of the Quran, (should act as your imam). There was none in the clan who knew more of the Quran than I did. They, therefore, put me in front of them and I was only a boy. And I wore a mantle, Whenever I was present in the gathering of Jarm (name of his clan), I would act as their Imam, and lead them in their funeral prayer until today. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Amr bin Salamah through a different chain of transmitter.

The version narrated by Maslamah goes: He said: On that day we were almost equal in knowledge. The version narrated by Ismail says: Khalid said: I said to Abu Qilabah: where is the Quran (i. e. why did the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم not say: The one who knows the Quran most should act as imam)?

Narrated Umm Waraqah daughter of Nawfal: When the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم proceeded for the Battle of Badr, I said to him: Messenger of Allah allow me to accompany you in the battle. I shall act as a nurse for patients. It is possible that Allah might bestow martyrdom upon me. He said: Stay at your home. Allah, the Almighty, will bestow martyrdom upon you. The narrator said: Hence she was called martyr. She read the Quran. She sought permission from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to have a muadhdhin in her house. He, therefore, permitted her (to do so). She announced that her slave and slave-girl would be free after her death. One night they went to her and strangled her with a sheet of cloth until she died, and they ran away. Next day Umar announced among the people, Anyone who has knowledge about them, or has seen them, should bring them (to him). Umar (after their arrest) ordered (to crucify them) and they were crucified. This was the first crucifixion at Madina.
