حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ح و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي کُلُّهُمْ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1530
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: When there are three persons, one of them should lead them. The one among them most worthy to act as Imam is one who is best versed in the Qur'an.
