Two People Praying Together

Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: “I prayed with the Prophet one night. I stood at his left, so Allah’s Messenger took me by my head, from behind me, to put me on his right (side).” (At-Tirmidhi)

When two people are in congregational prayer, where should the Imam be standing and where should the follower stand? A common practice is for the follower to be a little behind the imam. Is this correct?

Watch this short video to get the answer with Sheikh Waleed Basyouni.
