Chapter 2 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِيرَجُلٌ، 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.

A man related to me that (once) he was in the company of Ammar bin yasir رضی اللہ عنہما 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 رضی اللہ عنہ 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 رضی اللہ عنہ replied: that is why I followed you when you took me by the hand.
