Chapter 35 Musnad ʿAmr ibn Salamah al-Jarmī
مُسْنَدُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الْجَرْمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 325

ʿAmr ibn Salamah al-Jarmī (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were dwelling at a watering-place, and riders (or, as Ismāʿīl said on another occasion, people) used to pass by us returning from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ; I would draw near to them and listen, until I had memorized a great deal of Qurʾān. The people were delaying their acceptance of Islam until the conquest of Makkah; when it was conquered, each tribe hastened, and a man would come to him and say, “O Messenger of Allah, I am the delegate of such-and-such a people, and I have brought you news of their acceptance of Islam.” My father set out with his people’s acceptance of Islam, and when he returned he said, “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ has said, ‘Let whichever of you has gathered the most Qurʾān lead you.‘” They looked, and, though I was among a great assembly, they found no one who had gathered more Qurʾān than I, so they brought me forward while I was a boy. I led them in prayer wearing a cloak of mine, and whenever I bowed or prostrated it would ride up, exposing my nakedness, until an old woman of ours said, after we had prayed, “Cover up the backside of your reciter, for us!” So they cut out a garment for me, and I have never been so pleased with anything as I was with that garment.

Musnad Aḥmad 325

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَلِمَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عَلَى حَاضِرٍ، فَكَانَ الرُّكْبَانُ، وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ مَرَّةً: النَّاسُ، يَمُرُّونَ بِنَا رَاجِعِينَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَدْنُو مِنْهُمْ فَأَسْمَعُ، حَتَّى حَفِظْتُ قُرْآنًا، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَنْتَظِرُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِمْ فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ، فَلَمَّا فُتِحَتْ جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِيهِ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَا وَافِدُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ، وَجِئْتُكَ بِإِسْلَامِهِمْ، فَانْطَلَقَ أَبِي بِإِسْلَامِ قَوْمِهِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَدِّمُوا أَكْثَرَكُمْ قُرْآنًا» ، قَالَ: فَنَظَرُوا، وَأَنَا لَعَلَى حِوَاءٍ عَظِيمٍ، فَمَا وَجَدُوا فِيهِمْ أَحَدًا أَكْثَرَ قُرْآنًا مِنِّي، فَقَدَّمُونِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ، فَصَلَّيْتُ بِهِمْ وَعَلَيَّ بُرْدَةٌ، وَكُنْتُ إِذَا رَكَعْتُ أَوْ سَجَدْتُ قَلَصَتْ، فَتَبْدُو عَوْرَتِي، فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا، تَقُولُ عَجُوزٌ لَنَا دَهْرِيَّةٌ: غَطُّوا عَنَّا اسْتَ قَارِئِكُمْ، قَالَ: فَقَطَعُوا لِي قَمِيصًا، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ فَرِحَ بِهِ فَرَحًا شَدِيدًا
