Benefits of the Hadith: (… so he prayed in a single garment, crossing its two ends over his shoulders. I stood behind him, so he took my ear and placed me on his right side).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This contains evidence that one person should not stand behind the imam, but rather on his right side. And if he stands behind him, it is obligatory for him to move him forward so that he is on his right side, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did that. If someone asks: Is this on the basis of obligation or on the basis of recommendation? We say: This is on the basis of obligation, as evidenced by the other hadith
The prayer of a person who prays alone behind the row is not accepted. لا صلاة لمنفرد خلف الصف
Bulugh al-Maram 2:327
. This is unlike the hadith of Ibn Abbas, where he placed him on his right side instead of his left, because it has been established that the stronger position is that it is on the basis of recommendation, because there is nothing in the hadiths indicating that it is obligatory.
It also contains evidence for the permissibility of praying in a single garment, crossing its two ends over the shoulders so that it does not fall, meaning he places one end on the right shoulder and the other on the left shoulder, so that it does not fall or so that he does not become exposed in front.
It also contains evidence for the permissibility of joining a person praying alone to become the imam.
It also contains evidence for the permissibility of movement for the benefit of the prayer, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) moved in order to bring Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) forward. Yes.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
