حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَوْسَ بْنَ ضَمْعَجٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَأَقْدَمُهُمْ قِرَاءَةً فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْهِجْرَةِ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ سِنًّا وَلاَ يُؤَمُّ الرَّجُلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَلاَ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ وَلاَ يُجْلَسُ عَلَى تَكْرِمَتِهِ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ ‏"‏ . قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَقُلْتُ لإِسْمَاعِيلَ مَا تَكْرِمَتُهُ قَالَ فِرَاشُهُ .

Narrator: Abu Mas’ud al-Badri

English translation
Abu Mas’ud al-Badri reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: The one of you who is most versed in the Books of Allah should act as imam for the people; and the one who is the earliest of them in reciting (the Qur’an); if they are equally versed in reciting it, then the earliest of them to emigrate (to Medina); if they emigrated at the same time, then the oldest of them. No man must lead another in prayer in his house (i.e. in the house of a latter) or where the latter has authority, or sit in his place of honor without his permission. Shu’bah said: I asked Isma’il: what is the meaning of his place of honor? He replied: his throne
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ মাসউদ আল-বাদরী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আল্লাহর কিতাব সম্পর্কে সবচেয়ে অভিজ্ঞ ও কিরাআতে অধিক পারদর্শী ব্যক্তি লোকদের ইমামতি করবে। কিরাআতের দিক থেকে সকলে সমান হলে ইমামতি করবে ঐ ব্যক্তি, যে সবার আগে হিজরাত করেছে। হিজরাতের দিক থেকে যদি সবাই সমান হলে সবচেয়ে বয়োজেষ্ঠ্য ব্যক্তি ইমামতি করবে। কেউ যেন অনুমতি ছাড়া কারো বাড়িতে, কারো প্রভাবাধীন এলাকায় ইমামতি না করে এবং অনুমতি ছাড়া কারো সংরক্ষিত আসনে না বসে। সহীহ : মুসলিম। শু’বাহ বলেন, আমি ইসমাঈলকে বললাম, ‘সংরক্ষিত আসন’ অর্থ কি? তিনি বললেন, ‘তার বিছানা’।
