Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And between the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The one who leads the people is the one who is most proficient in reciting the Book of Allah. يؤم القوم أقرأهم لكتاب الله
, and this is a report in the sense of a command. The answer is that this group came together and left together, and it is most likely that they were equal in their recitation.
The students: Equal.

The Shaykh : Equal. Therefore, he shifted from the saying "let the most proficient among you in recitation lead you" to "let the eldest among you lead you." Or, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knew that they were equal in recitation. Among the benefits of the hadith is the obligation of congregational prayer, based on his saying: "Let the eldest among you lead you." The lam is for command, and command implies obligation. There is no leading in prayer except
The students: With a congregation.

The Shaykh : Except with a congregation. Yes.
The reader: Recite the translation, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Ah?
The reader: Recite the translation in al-Fath.

The Shaykh : Fine.
