"عَنِ ابنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: لَا تَسْبِقُوا قراءكم إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ السُّوَرةُ فَيَقْرَؤُهَا فَإِذَا فَرَغَ رَكَعَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أنْ يَرْكَعَ الإِمَامُ، فَلَا تُسَابِقُوا قُرَّاءَكُمْ فَإنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ".

"From Ibn Mas'ud, who said: 'Do not outpace your recitation. The imam was appointed only to be followed. So when he bows, bow; and when he prostrates, prostrate. For one of you may have a surah with him, and he recites it, and when he finishes he bows before the imam bows. So do not race your reciters; the imam was appointed only to be followed.'"
