Sahl ibn Sa'd Al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he was asked about what the pulpit was made of. He said, "It was made from the wood of the forest, crafted by so-and-so, the freed slave of so-and-so, for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When it was made and placed, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood on it, faced the Qiblah, and said Takbir. The people stood behind him, and he recited, bowed, and the people bowed behind him. Then he raised his head, stepped back, and prostrated on the ground. Then he returned to the pulpit, recited, bowed, raised his head, stepped back, and prostrated on the ground. This is the wording of Bukhari. In the agreed-upon version, it is similar, and at the end, it says: When he finished, he turned to the people and said, 'O people, I only did this so that you may follow me and learn my prayer.'"

ف: اس حدیث شریف میں مذکور ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے صحابہ کرام کو نماز سکھانے کے لئے منبر شریف پر کھڑے ہو کر نماز پڑھائی۔ اس بارے میں علامہ عینی رحمہ اللہ نے عمدۃ القاری میں لکھا ہے کہ ضرورۃً امام کا مقتدیوں سے بلند مقام پر کھڑا ہونا جائز ہے، ورنہ بلا ضرورت امام مقتدیوں سے بلند مقام پر کھڑا ہو تو یہ مکروہ ہے، اس کی تائید حضرت عمار کی امامت والی مذکورہ حدیث اور اسی قسم کی دیگر احادیث سے ہوتی ہے۔
