Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Sufyan bin Uyaynah narrates that Ubaidullah bin Abi Yazid saw Hazrat Hussain bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at the pool of Zamzam. Meanwhile, the iqamah for prayer was given. At this, there was some discussion between the imam and some people. The announcer was saying that the prayer has been established, and the people were instructing him to sit down. He would then repeat that the prayer has been established.

Hazrat Suwaid bin Ghaflah says that when a person enters the mosque during the iqamah, he may stand if he wishes, because it is more convenient for an elderly person. And Hazrat Aamir says that there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Mughira narrates that once Ibrahim reached the mosque and the muezzin had started the iqamah. Ibrahim placed his foot between the canopy and the courtyard until the muezzin finished the iqamah.
