English translation
[1532] 290 - (673) It was narrated that Abû Mas'ûd Al-Ansârî said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The people should be led (in prayers) by the one who has recite the most of the Book of Allâh. If they are equal in recitation of the Qur'ân, then by the one who has most knowledge of the Sunnah. If they are equal in knowledge of the Sunnah, then by the one who emigrated earlier. If they are equal in terms of emigration, then by the one who accepted Islam earlier. No man should lead another man in prayer in his place of authority, or sit in his place of honor in his house, without his permission." Al-Ashajj said in his report, instead of the one who accepted Islam first, "the one who is older."
