Hazrat Amr bin Salamah narrates from his father that they came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a delegation. When they were about to return, we asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who will lead us in prayer?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The one among you who knows the most Qur'an should lead you in prayer." Hazrat Amr bin Salamah says that at that time, there was no one in our tribe who had memorized more Qur'an than I had. Therefore, despite my young age, the people put me forward. Thus, I used to lead them in prayer, and I had a single sheet over me. In whichever gathering of the tribe of Jurm I was present, I would lead the prayer, and I am still leading their funeral prayers to this day.
