حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعْتُ أَوْسَ بْنَ ضَمْعَجٍ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَأَقْدَمُهُمْ قِرَاءَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْهِجْرَةِ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ سِنًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يُؤَمُّ الرَّجُلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَلَا فِي سُلْطَانِهِ وَلَا يُجْلَسُ عَلَى تَكْرِمَتِهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ شُعْبَةُ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ لِإِسْمَاعِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا تَكْرِمَتُهُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فِرَاشُهُ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: The one of you who is most versed in the Books of Allah should act as imam for the people; and the one who is the earliest of them in reciting (the Quran); if they are equally versed in reciting it, then the earliest of them to emigrate (to Madina); if they emigrated at the same time, then the oldest of them. No man must lead another in prayer in his house (i. e. in the house of a latter) or where the latter has authority, or sit in his place of honor without his permission. Shubah said: I asked Ismail: what is the meaning of his place of honor? He replied: his throne.
