وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَتَقَدَّمَ عَمَّارٌ وَقَامَ عَلَى دُكَّانٍ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي وَالنَّاسُ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ فَتَقَدَّمَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَاتَّبَعَهُ عَمَّارٌ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ عَمَّارٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَمَّ الرَّجُلُ الْقَوْمَ فَلَا يَقُمْ فِي مَقَامٍ أَرْفَعَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِمْ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ عَمَّارٌ لِذَلِكَ اتَّبَعْتُكَ حِينَ أَخَذْتَ عَلَى يَدِيَّ
English Translation
A man narrated that he was with 'Ammar ibn Yasir at al-Mada'in when the prayer was established. 'Ammar stepped forward and stood on a platform, praying while the people were below him. Hudhayfah came forward and took hold of his hands, and 'Ammar followed him until Hudhayfah brought him down. When 'Ammar finished his prayer, Hudhayfah said to him: 'Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: When a man leads people in prayer, he should not stand in a place higher than their place - or something similar?' 'Ammar said: 'That is why I followed you when you took hold of my hands.'
