Etiquette, stepping over necks, and facing the Imam on Friday
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 241 — Etiquette, stepping over necks, and facing
حَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ : " لَأَنْ يُصَلِّيَ أَحَدُكُمْ بِظَهْرِ الْحَرَّةِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَامَ الْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ جَاءَ يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ "
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that if any of you prays "Zuhr Harrah," it is better for him than sitting in his house, and when the Imam stands to deliver the sermon, he comes on the day of Jumu'ah jumping over people's necks.
قَالَ مَالِك : السُّنَّةُ عِنْدَنَا أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ النَّاسُ الْإِمَامَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ وَغَيْرَهَا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that according to us, the Sunnah is that on the day of Jumu'ah, when the Imam begins the sermon, the people should face the Imam, whether they are near the Qiblah or in any other direction.
