A man told me that he was with Ammar bin Yasir in al-Madain when the call to begin the prayer was made. Ammar stepped forward and stood on a raised platform to lead the prayer, while the people stood below him. Hudhayfah came forward, took him by the hands, and Ammar followed along until Hudhayfah brought him down.When Ammar finished his prayer, Hudhayfah said to him, "Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'When a man leads people in prayer, he should not stand in a place higher than where they stand,' or something to that effect?"Ammar replied, "That is why I followed you when you took me by the hands."
حدثنا أحمد بن إبراهيم حدثنا حجاج عن ابن جريج أخبرني أبو خالد
حدثني رجل أنه كان مع عمار بن ياسر بالمدائن فأقيمت الصلاة فتقدم عمار وقام على دكان يصلي والناس أسفل منه فتقدم حذيفة فأخذ على يديه فاتبعه عمار حتى أنزله حذيفة فلما فرغ عمار من صلاته قال له حذيفة ألم تسمع رسول الله ﷺ يقول إذا أم الرجل القوم فلا يقم في مكان أرفع من مقامهم أو نحو ذلك قال عمار لذلك اتبعتك حين أخذت على يدي
