حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو عَمْرٍو . ح وحَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ ، وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، " أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ تُقَامُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَيَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ مَقَامَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Abu Hurairah reported: when the Iqamah was pronounced for prayer during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the people would take their seats before the prophet ﷺ came to his seat.

541. Commentary:
Qadi Iyad states that this perhaps happened only once or twice; the purpose was to indicate permissibility or there was some other excuse. And most likely, this used to be the practice earlier, and then at some later time, there was a delay in your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) arrival. So the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Do not stand up until you see me." [عون المعبود]

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
From the hadith of Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu), it becomes absolutely clear that upon the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) exit from his chamber, as soon as the takbir was pronounced, people would begin to stand up, and by the time the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) arrived at his prayer place (musalla), the rows had already been formed.
