باب مَنْ أَحَقُّ بِالإِمَامَةِ:Chapter: Who has more right to lead the prayer
Hadith 1288
أَخْبَرَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ، وَأَحَقُّهُمْ بِالْإِمَامَةِ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ".
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When three men gather together, then the one among them who has recited (the Qur'an) the most is the most deserving to lead them in prayer."
