Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The one who should lead the people in prayer is the one who recites the Book of Allah (Qur’an) the most among them. If they are equal in recitation, then the one who knows the Sunnah more. If they are equal in the Sunnah, then the one who migrated earlier. If they are equal in migration, then the one who is oldest in age. No one should lead in someone’s domain without his permission, nor should he sit in his place of honor without permission.”
