Hajjaj b. Artata reported from Isma’il: Do not sit in the place of honour of anyone except with his permission.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ سَوَاءً فَأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِالسُّنَّةِ فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي السُّنَّةِ سَوَاءً فَأَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فَأَقْدَمُهُمْ قِرَاءَةً
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The person who leads the people in prayer is the one who made the earliest migration. If their migration was equal, then it is the one who is older. If they are equal in age, then it is the one who knows the Quran the best."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ أَقْدَمُهُمْ هِجْرَةً فَإِنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُمْ سَوَاءً فَأَقْدَمُهُمْ سِنًّا فَإِنْ كَانُوا فِي السِّنِّ سَوَاءً فَأَقْرَؤُهُمْ»
