حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَعَدَ فَاقْعُدُوا، وَإِذَا قَامَ فَقُومُوا، وَالْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ ضَامِنٌ لِصَلَاةِ الْقَوْمِ، فَإِذَا صَلَّاهَا لِوَقْتِهَا وَأَقَامَ حُدُودَهَا، أَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِهِمْ، لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّهَا لِوَقْتِهَا وَيُقِمْ حُدُودَهَا، كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَأَوْزَارُهُمْ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ شَيْءٌ

✧ The imam has been appointed only to be followed. When he says the takbir, say the takbir; when he bows, bow; when he prostrates, prostrate; when he raises, raise; when he sits, sit; and when he stands, stand. The imam is a protection and guarantor for the prayer of the people. If he prays it at its proper time and upholds its requirements—I think he said—he will have his reward and the like of their rewards, without diminishing anything from their rewards. But if he does not pray it at its proper time and does not uphold its requirements, he will bear its burden and their burdens, and nothing will be upon them.
