Sayyiduna Abu Yazid Jarami Amr bin Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we used to live near the water on the path where people would pass by, so we used to ask them about this religion. He narrated the hadith, saying: My father went on behalf of the people of his tribe to gather information about Islam, and he stayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for as long as Allah willed. Then when he returned, we welcomed him. Seeing us, he said, "By Allah! I am coming from a true Messenger." Then he said: "He commands you to do such and such things and forbids you from such and such things. He also commands you to pray such and such prayer at such and such time, and such and such prayer at such and such time. When the time for prayer comes, one man should give the adhan, then he should lead the prayer, the one among you who knows the Qur'an the most." The people of our tribe considered, and did not find anyone who knew more Qur'an than me, because I used to memorize the Qur'an from the travelers. So they put me forward, and I used to lead them in prayer at the age of six years.
