Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26393

Hanad narrated to us, Abu Muawiyah narrated to us, on the authority of Al-Amash, he said, Mahmoud bin Ghaylan narrated to us, Abu Muawiyah narrated to us, and Abdullah bin Numayr narrated to us, On the authority of Al-Amash, on the authority of Ismail bin Raja’ Al-Zubaidi, on the authority of Aws bin Damaj, he said: I heard Abu Masoud Al-Ansari, saying: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, “The one who reads the Book of God will lead the people in prayer, and if they are equal in reading, then the most knowledgeable of them in the Sunnah will lead them. If they are in the Sunnah Whether they were the first to migrate, then if they were equal in migration, then the oldest of them in age. The man should not lead the prayer while under his authority, nor should He sits on his honor in his house except with his permission.” Mahmoud bin Ghaylan said. Ibn Numayr said in his hadith, “The oldest of them in age.” . My father Masoud is a hasan and authentic hadith. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They said that the people most deserving of the Imamate are those who read the Book of God most closely. He is the most knowledgeable of them in the Sunnah. They said, “The owner of the house is more deserving of the Imamate.” Some of them said, “If the owner of the house gives permission to someone else, there is no problem.” That He prays with it. Some of them disliked it and said that the Sunnah is for the owner of the house to pray. Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “And no A man should lead in prayer in his authority, and he should not sit in his honor in his house except with his permission.” So if he gives permission, I hope that the permission is in All of them, and he did not see any harm in it if he allowed him to pray with it.
