The Importance of Humility in Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of humility and following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when leading prayer.

'Adi b. Thabit al-Ansari said; A man related to me that (once) he was in the company of 'Ammar b. 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 (May peace be upon him) 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.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَتَقَدَّمَ عَمَّارٌ وَقَامَ عَلَى دُكَّانٍ يُصَلِّي وَالنَّاسُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ فَتَقَدَّمَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَاتَّبَعَهُ عَمَّارٌ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ عَمَّارٌ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَمَّ الرَّجُلُ الْقَوْمَ فَلاَ يَقُمْ فِي مَكَانٍ أَرْفَعَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ عَمَّارٌ لِذَلِكَ اتَّبَعْتُكَ حِينَ أَخَذْتَ عَلَى يَدَىَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of humility and following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when leading prayer. It was narrated by Adi b. Thabit al-Ansari that a man told him that he was in the company of 'Ammar b. Yasir in al-Mada’in when they heard an Iqamah for prayer and 'Ammar stood on a shop or beach to lead them in prayer while they were standing on a lower place than him. Hudaifah then came forward and took him by his hands to bring him down to their level before he started praying as this was what Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught them - that one should not stand higher than those who are praying behind them during salat/prayer time. This hadith teaches us about humility and how important it is to follow the teachings of our beloved prophet ﷺ even if we don't understand why at first glance - because Allah knows best! We must always strive to be humble no matter what situation we find ourselves in, so that we can be closer to Allah SWT through our actions and words!
