حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفُرَاتِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الرَّازِيُّ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ ، أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ أَمَّ النَّاسَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ عَلَى دُكَّانٍ ، فَأَخَذَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ بِقَمِيصِهِ فَجَبَذَهُ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ، قَالَ : " أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُنْهَوْنَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : بَلَى ، قَدْ ذَكَرْتُ حِينَ مَدَدْتَنِي .
Hammam said: Hudhaifah led the people in prayer in al-Mada’in standing on the shop (or a bench). Abu Masud took him by his shirt, and brought him down. When he ( Abu Masud) finished his prayer, he said: Do you not know that they (the people) were prohibited to do so. He said: Yes, I remembered when you pulled me down.
Hadith 598
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ عَمَّارٌ وَقَامَ عَلَى دُكَّانٍ يُصَلِّي وَالنَّاسُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَاتَّبَعَهُ عَمَّارٌ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ عَمَّارٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ، قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ : أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا أَمَّ الرَّجُلُ الْقَوْمَ فَلَا يَقُمْ فِي مَكَانٍ أَرْفَعَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِمْ " ، أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ عَمَّارٌ : لِذَلِكَ اتَّبَعْتُكَ حِينَ أَخَذْتَ عَلَى يَدَيَّ .
Adi bin Thabit al-Ansari said; A man related to me that (once) he was in the company of Ammar bin yasir in al-Mada’in (a city near Ku’fah). The IQAMAH was called for prayer: Ammar came forward and stood on a shop (or a beach) and prayed while the people stood on a lower place than he. Hudaifah came forward and took him by the hands and Ammar followed him till Hudaifah brought him down. When Ammar finished his prayer. Hudaifah said to him: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When a man leads the people in prayer, he must not stand in a position higher than theirs, or words to that effect? Ammar replied: that is why I followed you when you took me by the hand.
