Adi bin Thabit al-Ansari said; A man related to me that (once) he was in the company of Ammar bin yasir in al-Mada’in (a city near Ku’fah). The IQAMAH was called for prayer: Ammar came forward and stood on a shop (or a beach) and prayed while the people stood on a lower place than he. Hudaifah came forward and took him by the hands and Ammar followed him till Hudaifah brought him down. When Ammar finished his prayer. Hudaifah said to him: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: When a man leads the people in prayer, he must not stand in a position higher than theirs, or words to that effect? Ammar replied: that is why I followed you when you took me by the hand.

We visited him to inquire about his illness. We found him praying sitting in the apartment of Aishah. We, therefore, stood, (praying) behind him. He kept silent. We again visited him to inquire about his illness. He offered the obligatory prayer sitting. We, therefore, stood (praying) behind him; he made a sign to us and we sat down. When he finished the prayer, he said: When the imam prays sitting, pray sitting; and when the imam prays standing, pray standing, and do not act as the people of Persia used to act with their chiefs (i. e. the people stood and they were sitting).
