It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat on the pulpit, he said to the people: "Sit down." Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this command of yours while he was at the door of the mosque, so he sat down (right there). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Ibn Mas'ud, come (inside)."
