The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "The one who leads the people in prayer should be the one most versed in the Book of Allah and the one who began reciting it earliest. If they are equal in recitation, then the one who emigrated earliest should lead them. If they are equal in emigration, then the eldest among them should lead. A man should not lead another in prayer in his own home or in the area of his authority, nor should one sit in his place of honor in his house, except with his permission."
