It is narrated from Abdullah bin Yazid al-Khatmi, who was the governor of Kufa, that he said: We went to the house of Qais bin Sa'd bin 'Ubadah. The muezzin gave the call to prayer. We said to Qais: Stand up and lead us in prayer. He replied: I cannot lead in prayer a people over whom I am not the leader. Upon hearing this, a man who was not of low status—he was called Abdullah bin Hanzalah ibn al-Ghasil—said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The owner has more right to his mount, likewise the one who owns the bed has more right to sit on it, and a man has more right to lead prayer in his own house." Upon hearing this, Qais bin Sa'd said to his servant: Stand up and lead them in prayer.
