Commentary
It is agreed that if the follower is only one, he should stand on the right side of the Imām. According to the majority of the scholars, he should stand equal to the Imām, and in the opinion of some other scholars, he should stand equal to the heels of the Imām; but it has no proof from Aḥādīth.
