Isma'il bin Raja' narrated the hadith, (saying) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one among them who has read the most Qur'an and is earliest in recitation. If they are equal in recitation, then the eldest." Then he mentioned the rest of the hadith. Shu'bah says: I asked: "What is his place of honour?" He said: "His bedding."
