أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ - يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ:
إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى فَكَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَلَا تَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقُولُوا: رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَلَا تَبْتَدِرُوا قَبْلَهُ

✧ The imam is only appointed to be followed. So when he prays and says the takbir, you say the takbir; when he bows, you bow; and do not differ from him. When he says: 'Allah hears the one who praises Him,' then you say: 'Our Lord, and to You belongs praise.' When he prostrates, you prostrate, and do not rush before him.
