Chapter on What to Do if One Raises His Head Before the Imam
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 206 — on What to Do if One Raises His Head
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ مَلِيحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّعْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ وَيَخْفِضُهُ قَبْلَ الْإِمَامِ ، فَإِنَّمَا نَاصِيَتُهُ بِيَدِ شَيْطَانٍ "
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that whoever raises or lowers his head before the Imam, his forehead is in the hand of Satan.
قَالَ مَالِك ، فِيمَنْ سَهَا فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ الْإِمَامِ فِي رُكُوعٍ أَوْ سُجُودٍ : إِنَّ السُّنَّةَ فِي ذَلِكَ ، أَنْ يَرْجِعَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا ، وَلَا يَنْتَظِرُ الْإِمَامَ . وَذَلِكَ خَطَأٌ مِمَّنْ فَعَلَهُ ، لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَلَا تَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيْهِ " ، وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ وَيَخْفِضُهُ قَبْلَ الْإِمَامِ ، إِنَّمَا نَاصِيَتُهُ بِيَدِ شَيْطَانٍ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person forgetfully raises his head before the imam in bowing (ruku) or prostration (sajdah), then the Sunnah is that he should return to the bowing or prostration and not wait for the imam to raise his head. And whoever does this intentionally has made a mistake, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The imam is appointed only to be followed, so do not differ with him." That is, do not perform the acts before or after him. And our master Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, said that whoever raises or lowers his head before the imam, his forehead is in the hand of Satan.
