حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَامِدٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، ثنا الْمُنْذِرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، نا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ، نا الْحَجَّاجُ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ ضَمْعَجٍ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ أَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً ، وَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْهِجْرَةِ سَوَاءً فَأَفْقَهُهُمْ فِي الدِّينِ ، وَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الدِّينِ سَوَاءً فَأَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِلْقُرْآنِ ، وَلا يُؤَمُّ الرَّجُلُ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ وَلا يُقْعَدُ عَلَى تَكْرِمَتِهِ إِلا بِإِذْنِهِ " ، وَكَانَ يُسَوِّي مَنَاكِبَنَا فِي الصَّلاةِ ، وَيَقُولُ : " لا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ ، وَلْيَلِيَنِي مِنْكُمْ أُولُو الأَحْلامِ وَالنُّهَى ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ " .
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The one who should lead the people in prayer is the one who migrated first among them. If they are equal in migration, then the one who has the most understanding of religion should lead. If they are equal in religious knowledge, then the one who recites the Qur’an best (or who has memorized more verses of the Qur’an) should lead. No person should lead another in his domain, that is, in his house where he is the chief, nor should he sit in his special place of sitting, except with his permission.” (The narrator states): At the beginning of the prayer, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to straighten our shoulders and would say: “Do not differ among yourselves, lest your hearts differ. Let those among you who are most wise and experienced stand closest to me, then those after them in order of wisdom and experience.”
