Sunan an-Nasai 840 (Book 10, Hadith 64) #15448
Leading Prayer with Knowledge

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that when three people are present, one of them should lead the prayer and the one with the most knowledge of the Quran should be chosen.

It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'If there are three people, let one of them lead the others in prayer, and the one who has the most right to lead the prayer is the one who recites (knows) the most (Qur'an)"'.
