Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقُومَ الْإِمَامُ فَوْقَ شَيْءٍ وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ يَعْنِي أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ. رَوَاهُ الدراقطني وَأَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Abu Masud al-Ansari reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the imam to stand on something elevated while the people stood behind him—that is, below him. Al-Daraqutni and Abu Dawud transmitted it.
