English translation

598. 'Adī bin Thābit narrated that a man informed him, that he was with 'Ammār bin Yāsir in (the city of) Al-Madā'in. The Iqāmah was called, so 'Ammār stepped forward (to lead), and stood on a terrace to pray while the people were (on a level) lower than him. Hudhaifah came forth, grasped his hand, and led 'Ammār down. After 'Ammār had finished the prayer, Hudhaifah said to him: 'Did you not hear the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "If a person leads others (in prayer), let him not stand on a ground higher than theirs," or something similar to this?' 'Ammār responded: 'That is why I followed you when you held on to my hand.'"(Da'if)

598 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ، 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 اللهُ 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»
