When should the followers stand if the Imam is present in or near the mosque?

Primary text
The followers should stand when the Iqamah is said if the Imam is present in the mosque or near it. This is supported by narrations concerning the Prophet's (PBUH) actions, such as his instruction to straighten the ranks after the Iqamah had been called, indicating readiness when the Imam is present.
