[Machine] Hudhaifah prayed with the people in the cities, then he went ahead and climbed over a shop. Abu Mas'ood grabbed him by his clothes' collars and pulled him down. When they finished the prayer, Abu Mas'ood said to him, "Didn't you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the Imam to step ahead while the people remain behind him?" Hudhaifah said, "So why didn't you say so when you pulled me?"
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؟
