رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَجْتَمِعُونَ فَتَحْضُرُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ تَقَدَّمْ يَا فُلاَنُ فَقَالَ« إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ« يَتَقَدَّمُ اَلْقَوْمَ أَقْرَؤُهُمْ لِلْقُرْآنِ فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي اَلْقِرَاءَةِ سَوَاءً فَأَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي اَلْهِجْرَةِ سَوَاءً فَأَكْبَرُهُمْ سِنّاً فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي اَلسِّنِّ سَوَاءً فَلْيَؤُمَّهُمْ أَعْلَمُهُمْ بِالسُّنَّةِ وَ أَفْقَهُهُمْ فِي اَلدِّينِ وَ لاَ يَتَقَدَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ اَلرَّجُلَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَ لاَ صَاحِبَ سُلْطَانٍ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ»»
Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Ali ibn Muhammad and others from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ibn Mahbub from Ibn Riab from Abi Ubaydah, who said: I asked Aba Abdillah (a.s) about a group of our companions who gather and the time of prayer arrives, so some of them say to others, “Step forward, O’ so-and-so.” Imam (a.s) said: “Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, said: ‘The one who should lead the people is the one most proficient in the recitation of the Qur’an. If they are equal in recitation, then the one who migrated earlier. If they are equal in migration, then the eldest in age. If they are equal in age, then the one who is more knowledgeable of the Sunnah and more understanding in religion. And none of you should step ahead of a man in his own home, nor of a person of authority in his domain.’”
