692. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: When the earliest emigrants came to Al- 'Uṣba, a place in Qubā' before the arrival of the Prophet ﷺ, Sālim, the slave of Abū Ḥudhaifa, who knew the Qur'ān more than the others, used to lead them in Ṣalāt (prayer).
692 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ المُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا قَدِمَ المُهَاجِرُونَ الأَوَّلُونَ العُصْبَةَ - مَوْضِعٌ بِقُبَاءٍ - قَبْلَ مَقْدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآنًا»
