Bayhaqi 2592 — He bows when the imam bows and rises when he rises

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي إِمَامُكُمْ فَلَا تَسْبِقُونِي بِالرُّكُوعِ، وَلَا بِالسُّجُودِ، وَلَا بِالْقِيَامِ، وَلَا بِالِانْصِرَافِ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ أَمَامِي وَمِنْ خَلْفِي " ثُمَّ قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا " قَالُوا: وَمَا رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer. When he completed the prayer, he turned towards us and said: "O people, I am your imam, so do not precede me in bowing and prostration, in standing and in the salam, for I see you in front of me and from behind me." Then he said: "By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), if you were to see what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah, what have you seen? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have seen Paradise and Hell."
