The ruling on the regular imam entering after the iqamah and moving forward to lead the people

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It was mentioned in the previous lesson that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) felt energetic, he moved to the left of Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr followed him, and the Muslims followed Abu Bakr. Is the imam entering after the ma'mumin have said the takbir of intention a ruling specific to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
No, it is not specific to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The imam moves forward and the follower moves back. The follower moves back, but Abu Bakr remained in his place to the left of the Messenger so that he could reach the people. The follower moves back and the imam moves forward. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did this with Abu Bakr once: he came while Abu Bakr was praying or about to pray with the people, so Abu Bakr moved back and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) moved forward. When he finished the prayer, he said, "What is the matter with you, Abu Bakr, that you moved back?"
He said, "It was not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to pray in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Yes, this is evidence that the imam comes and moves forward, and the follower moves back. And if the follower remains, there is no harm, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed during his expedition to Tabuk, and then the prayer time arrived, so 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) moved forward and prayed with the Muslims. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came during the prayer and joined the Muslims in prayer behind 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.
