ahmad:11387Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad > Ayyūb b. Jābir

[Machine] "A man prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ and he started to bow before the Prophet bowed and he raised before the Prophet raised. When the Prophet ﷺ finished the prayer, he said, 'Who did this?' The man said, 'It was me, O Messenger of Allah. I wanted to know if you knew about it or not.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Fear Allah in the prayer. When the Imam bows, then bow, and when he raises, then raise.'"  

أحمد:١١٣٨٧حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عِصْمَةَ الْحَنَفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَجُلٌ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَرْكَعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ أَمْ لَا فَقَالَ اتَّقُوا خِدَاجَ الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا رَكَعَ الْإِمَامُ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا
