أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ ضَمْعَجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ سَوَاءً فَأَقْدَمُهُمْ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْهِجْرَةِ سَوَاءً فَأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِالسُّنَّةِ فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي السُّنَّةِ سَوَاءً فَأَقْدَمُهُمْ سِنًّا وَلاَ تَؤُمَّ الرَّجُلَ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ وَلاَ تَقْعُدْ عَلَى تَكْرِمَتِهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَكَ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Masud

English translation
It was narrated that Abu Masud said: "The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)said: 'Let the one who has most knowledge of the Book of Allah lead the people in prayer. If they are equal in terms of knowledge of the Qur'h, let the one who emigrated first (lead them). If they are equal in terms of emigration, let the one who has more knowledge of the Sunnah, (lead them). If they are equal in terms of knowledge of the Sunnah, let the one who is oldest (lead them). Do not lead a man in prayer in his place of authority, and do not sit in his place of honor, unless he gives you permission
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। কুতায়বা (রহঃ) ... আবূ মাসউদ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসুলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ দলের ইমামতি করবে ঐ ব্যাক্তি যে তাদের মধ্যে আল্লাহর কিতাব অধিক ভাল পাঠ করে। যদি তারা সকলেই কিরাআতে সমপর্যায়ভুক্ত হয়, তাহলে তাদের মধ্যে যে পূর্বে হিজরত করেছে। যদি তারা সকলেই হিজরতে সমপর্যায়ের হয়, তবে তাদের মধ্যে যে সুন্নাহ সম্পর্কে অধিক জ্ঞাত। যদি তারা সুন্নাহতেও যদি সমপর্যাযের হয়, তাহলে যার বয়স অধিক, সে ব্যক্তি। আর তুমি কোন ব্যক্তির কর্তূতের স্থানে ইমামতি করবে না। আর তুমি তার আসনে উপবেশন করবে না, হ্যাঁ, যদি তিনি তোমাকে অনুমতি দেন।
