Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The one who has the most knowledge of Allah’s Book should lead the people in prayer. If they are equal in recitation, then the one who migrated earlier should lead. If they are also equal in migration, then the one who is older in age should lead. And no one should lead another in prayer in his house or in his tent, nor should he sit in his specific sitting place, except with his permission, as the rulings regarding his permission are different.”Shu’bah says: I asked Isma’il about the meaning of the word ‘taqarrumah’. He replied: It means his bedding. Hawzi, the narrator, did not mention this statement; I asked Isma’il about it.
