Abu Salama reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that when Iqama was pronounced for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the people occupied their places in the rows before the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) stood up at his place.
أَنَّ الصَّلاَةَ كَانَتْ تُقَامُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ مَصَافَّهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَقَامَهُ
when the Iqamah was pronounced for prayer during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the people would take their seats before the prophet ﷺ came to his seat.
أَنَّ الصَّلاَةَ كَانَتْ تُقَامُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ مَقَامَهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
"كَانَتِ الصَّلاةُ تُقَامُ لِرَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَيَأخُذُ النَّاسُ مُقَامَهُم قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأخُذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُقَامَهُ".
