Bayhaqi 2293 — The imam does not say the takbir until he orders

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْعَدْلُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي سُهَيْلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَأَنَا أُكَلِّمُهُ فِي أَنْ يَفْرِضَ لِي فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُكَلِّمُهُ، وَهُوَ يُسَوِّي الْحَصْبَاءَ بِنَعْلَيْهِ، حَتَّى جَاءَهُ رِجَالٌ قَدْ وَكَّلَهُمْ بِتَسْوِيَةِ الصُّفُوفِ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ الصُّفُوفَ قَدِ اسْتَوَتْ، فَقَالَ لِي: " اسْتَوِ فِي الصَّفِّ " ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ ".
Abu Suhayl bin Malik narrates from his father that he said: I was with Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). The iqamah was called while I was talking to him about my share (a stipend to be assigned to me). I kept talking to him while he was levelling the pebbles with his sandals, until some men whom he had appointed to straighten the rows came to him and informed him that the rows had been straightened. Then he said to me: "Get straight in the row," and then he said the takbir.
