أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ أَنَسٍ فَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَ أَمِيرٍ مِنْ الْأُمَرَائِ فَدَفَعُونَا حَتَّی قُمْنَا وَصَلَّيْنَا بَيْنَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ أَنَسٌ يَتَأَخَّرُ وَقَالَ قَدْ کُنَّا نَتَّقِي هَذَا عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 825
It was narrated that ‘Abdul Hamid bin Mahmud said: “We were with Anas and we prayed with one of the AmIrs. They pushed us until we stood and prayed between two rows, and Anas started moving backward and said: ‘We used to avoid this at the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم.” (Sahih).
