A man who enters while the muezzin is calling the iqamah: whether he stands or sits

Sufyan bin Uyaynah said: Ubaydullah bin Abi Yazid saw Sayyiduna Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at the basin of Zamzam, and then the iqamah was called for the prayer. Some words then passed between the imam and some of the people. The caller kept saying: "The prayer has been established," and the people kept telling him to sit down, and he would again say: "The prayer has been established."

Suwayd bin Ghafalah said: When a man enters the mosque while the iqamah is being called, he may remain standing if he wishes, for that is easier for an old man. And Amir said: There is no harm in it.

Mughirah said: Ibrahim once reached the mosque when the muezzin had begun the iqamah, so Ibrahim kept his foot between the covered portion and the courtyard until the muezzin had finished the iqamah.
