Ibn Aun narrates: I was at a funeral with Ibn Sirin. When we finished with the funeral, the time for prayer arrived. When the iqamah for prayer was called, Ibn Sirin was asked to step forward. He replied, "Let someone among you step forward, and let the one who has recited the Qur'an step forward." So I stepped forward and led the people in prayer. When I finished leading the prayer, I said to myself, "What have I done? I have done something that Ibn Sirin disliked for himself, and I stepped forward!" So I said to Ibn Sirin, "May Allah have mercy on you, you instructed me to do something which you disliked for yourself?" He replied, "I dislike that a passerby passes by and says, 'This is Ibn Sirin who is leading the prayer!'"
