Hadith 1596
Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in the narration of Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) it is mentioned that indeed the Imam bows (in ruku) before you and raises his head before you. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Your bowing late and raising your head late) will become equal."
