82| Command for believers to follow the imam and prohibition of opposing him
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1575 — 82| Command for believers to follow
نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى فَكَبَّرَ ، فَكَبِّرُوا ، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ ، فَارْكَعُوا ، وَلا تَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا قَالَ : سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، فَقُولُوا : رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا ، وَلا تَبْتَدِرُوا قَبْلَهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the imam is appointed so that he may be followed. Therefore, when he says the takbir for prayer, you should also say the takbir, and when he bows (for ruku‘), you should also bow, and do not differ from him (do not do anything different from him). When he says « سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ », you should say « رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ », and when he prostrates, you should also prostrate, and do not hasten before him."
