English translation

582. It was reported from Shuʿbah who said: “Ismāʿil bin Rajāʾ said: ‘I heard Aws bin Damʿaj narrating from Abū Masʿūd Al-Badri who said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The person who recites the most of Allāh’s Book should lead the people in prayer, and the one who has been reciting the longest. If they are equivalent in recitation, then the one who performed the Hijrah earlier should lead. If they are equivalent in the Hijrah, then the one who is older should lead. And no person should be led (by another) in his house or in his place of authority, nor should any one sit on his Takrimah except with his permission.” (Sahih) Shu'bah said: “I said to Ismā'il: ‘What is: “His Takrimah?”’ He said: ‘His bedding.’”[1]

582 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَوْسَ بْنَ ضَمْعَجٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ 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.
