Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6685 — The imam standing higher than those
٦٦٨٥ - (حدثنا أبو) (١) معاوية عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن همام قال: صلى حذيفة على دكان وهم أسفل منه قال: فجذبه سلمان حتى أنزله (٢) فلما انصرف ⦗٤٢٧⦘ قال له: أما علمت أن أصحابك كانوا يكرهون أن يصلي الإمام على الشيء وهم أسفل منه؟ (قال) (٣): فقال حذيفة: بلى، قد ذكرت حين (مددتني) (٤) (٥).
Hammam said: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) began leading the prayer on a raised platform while the rest of the people stood below. Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) pulled him down. When he finished the prayer, Sayyiduna Salman said: Do you not know that your companions used to dislike that the imam should stand on something above while the people are below? Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That is quite right; when you pulled me, I remembered it.
