Hadith 2603
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْبَرَاءُ (بْنُ عَازِبٍ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ كَذُوبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَامُوا قِيَامًا حَتَّى يَسْجُدَ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُونَ
Abdullah bin Yazid Ansari said in his sermon: Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) informed us, and he is not a liar (i.e., he is truthful), that indeed when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would raise his head from bowing (ruku‘), they (all the companions) would remain standing until he (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated, then they would go into prostration.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: The essence of all these ahadith is that following the imam is obligatory, and it is impermissible to precede him in the performance of any pillar (rukn) of the prayer.
