Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the congregation stands for prayer (the iqamah is called), only the obligatory prayer may be performed.

Fudayl said: Sa'id bin Jubayr saw a man praying at the time of the iqamah for Asr. He said: Would it please you to hear it said that the son of so-and-so prayed six rak'ahs?

He (Fudayl) said: I mentioned that to Ibrahim, and he said: Praying while the iqamah is being called used to be considered disliked.

Ibrahim said: The predecessors used to consider it disliked to pray once the mu'adhdhin had begun the iqamah.

Maymun said: When the mu'adhdhin says 'Allahu Akbar' for the iqamah, do not pray anything until you have prayed the obligatory prayer.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a man praying two rak'ahs while the mu'adhdhin was calling the iqamah. He rebuked him and said: When the mu'adhdhin is calling the iqamah, there is no prayer except the prayer for which the iqamah is being called.

Ata said: When you are in the mosque and the iqamah for prayer is called, do not perform ruku' (do not start a voluntary prayer).
