حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبٍ ثنا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ قَالَ
صَلَّى حُذَيْفَةُ بِالنَّاسِ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَوْقَ دُكَّانٍ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ بِمَجَامِعِ ثِيَابِهِ فَمَدَّهُ فَرَجَعَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ «أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يَقُومَ الْإِمَامُ فَوْقَ وَيَبْقَى النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ؟» قَالَ فَلِمَ تُرَانِي أَجَبْتُكَ حِينَ مَدَدْتَنِي؟

✧ Hudhayfa prayed with the people at Mada'in and stepped forward onto a bench. Abu Mas'ud took hold of the collar of his garment and pulled him, so he stepped back. When he finished the prayer, Abu Mas'ud said to him, "Did you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the imam to stand elevated while the people remain behind him?" He said, "Why do you think I responded when you pulled me?"
