أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ وَابْنُ كَثِيرٍ وَالْحَوْضِيُّ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ ضَمْعَجٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمُ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَتُهُمْ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْهِجْرَةِ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ سِنًّا وَلَا يَؤُمُّ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَلَا فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ وَلَا يَقْعُدُ عَلَى تَكْرِمَتِهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ»

✧ The people should be led in prayer by the one most learned in the Book of Allah. If they are equal in recitation, then the one earliest in emigration. If they are equal in emigration, then the eldest. And no man should lead another in his house or in his tent, nor sit on his cushion except with his permission.

ومداره على إسماعيل بن رجاء عن أوس بن ضمعج عنه وليسا جميعا من شرط البخاري وقد نقل ابن أبي حاتم في العلل عن أبيه أن شعبة كان يتوقف في صحة هذا الحديث ولكن هو في الجملة يصلح للاحتجاج به عند البخاري
