حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَوْسَ بْنَ ضَمْعَجٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ
قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللهِ - تَعَالَى - وَأَقْدَمُهُمْ قِرَاءَةً، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَتُهُمْ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً، فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْهِجْرَةِ سَوَاءً، فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ سِنًّا، وَلَا يُؤَمَّنَّ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَهْلِهِ، وَلَا فِي سُلْطَانِهِ، وَلَا يُجْلَسُ عَلَى تَكْرِمَتِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ أَوْ بِإِذْنِهِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: The people should be led in prayer by the one who has memorized the most of the Book of Allah—Exalted is He—and is the earliest in recitation. If their recitation is equal, then the one who made the earliest hijrah should lead them. If they are equal in hijrah, then the oldest of them should lead them. And a man should not be led in prayer in his own household, nor in his dominion, nor should one sit on his honored place in his house except with his permission or by his leave.
