It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people should be led in prayer by their best reciter of the Book of Allah. If their recitation is equal, then the one who emigrated first. If their emigration is equal, then the one oldest in age. No man should lead another in prayer either in his house or within the area of his authority, and do not sit in his place of honour except with his permission." Shu'bah said: I asked (Isma'il bin Raja'): "What is his 'takrimah'?" He said: "His bedding."
These are the words of Hajjaj's narration.
