📖 1 min readعن أبي سعيد وأبي هريرة رضي الله عنهما مرفوعاً: «إذا خرج ثلاثة في سفر فَلْيُؤَمِّرُوا أحدهم».
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) commanded travelers to appoint one of them as their leader. It should be the best and most level-headed of them they appoint to manage their affairs, because if they do not appoint one of them as their leader, their affairs would become chaotic.
