أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَكَبَّرَ فَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَزَلَ الْقَهْقَرَى فَسَجَدَ فِي أَصْلِ الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ عَادَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ»

✧ I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sit on the minbar and say the takbīr, and the people behind him said the takbīr. Then he bowed while he was on the minbar. Then he raised his head, descended backwards, and prostrated at the base of the minbar. Then he returned until he finished the rest of his prayer.

Notes

  • قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ «فِي ذَلِكَ رُخْصَةٌ لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَرْفَعَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَقَدْرُ هَذَا الْعَمَلِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَيْضًا»

    machine translationAbū Muḥammad said: "In that there is a concession for the imam to be positioned higher than his companions, and likewise for this amount of movement in the prayer."
