باب النَّهْيِ عَنْ مُبَادَرَةِ الأَئِمَّةِ بِالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ:Chapter: Forbidding preceding the imam in bowing and prostration
Hadith 1354
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُخْتَارُ بْنُ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَثَّهُمْ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، وَنَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَسْبِقُوهُ إِذَا كَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ بِالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ، وَأَنْ يَنْصَرِفُوا قَبْلَ انْصِرَافِهِ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ، وَقَالَ: "إِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَأَمَامِي".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged the people to perform prayer, and when they performed bowing and prostration behind him in congregation, he forbade them from competing with him, and forbade them from concluding the prayer (saying salam) before him, and said: "I see you from behind me and from in front of me, from every direction."
