“Malik and a group of other young men of similar age went to stay with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, for twenty days. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was the most kind and considerate person. He thought they might be eager to return to their people and inquired about those they had left behind, so they told him. After that he said, ‘Now return to your people, stay with them, instruct them, and ask them to keep it, and to pray at their appointed times. When the time for prayer arrives one of you should call the Adhan (the call to prayer) and the eldest amongst you should lead the prayer.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Malik, the son of Huyairis who related this.
