حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّانُ بْنُ تَمَّامٍ، وَمَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ، قَالَ : مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ : قَرَظَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ ، فَنِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَاءَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : مَا بَالُ النَّوْحِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أَمَا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ عُذِّبَ بِمَا نِيحَ عَلَيْهِ " . وَفِي الْبَاب : عَنْ عُمَرَ ، وَعَلِيٍّ ، وَأَبِي مُوسَى ، وَقَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَجُنَادَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، وَأَنَسٍ ، وَأُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ ، وَسَمُرَةَ ، وَأَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Ali bin Rabi'ah Al-Asadi said:` "A man died among the Ansar named Qarazah bin Ka'b, and he was being wailed over. So Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah came and ascended the Minbar. He uttered thanks and praise to Allah and said: "As for the gravity of wailing in Islam, indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'The one who is wailed over is punished as long as he is being wailed over.'"

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: According to unanimous agreement of the four Imams (a’immah arba‘ah), if the follower (muqtadi) precedes the imam in the opening takbir (takbir tahrimah), his prayer will not be valid. Furthermore, according to the three Imams and the two companions (sahibayn), even performing the takbir simultaneously (muqaranah) with the imam is not correct, whereas according to Imam Abu Hanifah rahimahullah, simultaneity is permissible.

The requirement of following the imam is that the follower should follow the imam in all states of the prayer, remaining behind him. In any state or action, the follower should neither perform the act simultaneously with the imam (muqaranah), nor precede or hasten before him (mubadarah, musabaqat, sabq), nor oppose him.
