إِيجَابِ التَّكْبِيرِ وَافْتِتَاحِ الصَّلاَةِ

The obligation of the takbir and the opening of the prayer

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ. فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ. وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعُونَ ".

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “The imam is appointed only to be followed. When he says the takbir, say the takbir; when he bows, bow; when he says, ‘Allah hears the one who praises Him,’ say, ‘Our Lord, and to You belongs the praise’; when he prostrates, prostrate; and when he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting.”

Abu Huraira berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Der Imam ist nur dazu da, dass man ihm folgt. Wenn er den Takbir spricht, dann sprecht den Takbir; wenn er sich verbeugt, dann verbeugt euch; wenn er sagt: ‚Allah hört den, der Ihn lobt‘, dann sagt: ‚Unser Herr, und Dir gebührt das Lob‘; wenn er sich niederwirft, dann werft euch nieder; und wenn er sitzend betet, dann betet alle sitzend.“

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “İmam ancak kendisine uyulmak için imam yapılmıştır. Tekbir alınca siz de tekbir alın; rükûa varınca siz de rükûa varın; ‘Semiallâhu limen hamideh’ deyince siz de ‘Rabbenâ ve leke'l-hamd’ deyin; secde edince siz de secde edin; oturarak namaz kılınca da hepiniz oturarak kılın.”
