Chapter 5 · The Book of Prayersحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا يُونُسَ مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقُولُوا: اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا، فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا، فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعُونَ.

Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying: The Imam is appointed to be followed. So recite takbir when he recites it, and bow down when he bows down and when he utters: Allah listens to him who praises Him, say O Allah, our Lord, for Thee be the praise. And when he prays, standing, you should pray standing. And when he prays sitting, all of you should pray sitting.
