Respect Of The Steps Of The Refulgent Mimbar [Pulpit]

Tabarani has stated in Awsat with reference to Sayyiduna Ibn-e- ‘Umar رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ that throughout his life, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ did not sit on that part of the enlightened Mimbar [pulpit] where the Holy Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہِ وَسَلَّم used to sit. Similarly, Sayyiduna ‘Umar did not sit in the place of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna ‘Ušman did not sit in the place of Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ.
