The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Imam is to be followed. Say the Takbir when he says it; bow if he bows; if he says 'Samiʿa l-lahu liman hamidah', say, ' Rabbana wa laka l-hamd', prostrate if he prostrates and pray sitting altogether if he prays sitting."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ 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

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Imam is appointed, so that he should be followed, so don't be at variance with him. Recite takbir when he recites it; bow down when he bows down and when he says:" Allah listens to him who praises Him," say:" O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the Praise." And when he (the Imam) prostrates, you should also prostrate, and when he says prayer sitting, you should all observe prayer sitting.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَلاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعُونَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ while teaching us (the principles of faith), said: Do not try to go ahead of the Imam, recite takbir when he recites it, and when he says: "Nor of those who err" you should say Amin, bow down when he bows down, and when he says: "Allah listens to him who praises Him" say: "O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the praise".

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا يَقُولُ لاَ تُبَادِرُوا الإِمَامَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ فَقُولُوا آمِينَ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ

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.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعُونَ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Imam is appointed to be followed, so when he says the takbir, say the takbir, and when he recites, be silent, and when he says: "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)," say: "Allahumma rabbana lakal-hamd (Our Lord, to You be praise)."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The Imam is appointed to be followed. When he says Allahu Akbar, then say Allahu Akbar; when he bows, then bow; when he says Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, then say Rabbana wa lakal-hamd; when he prostrates then prostrate; if he prays standing, then pray standing, and if he prays sitting down then pray sitting down.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The Imam has been appointed to be followed, so when he says Allahu Akbar, then say Allahu Akbar, when he recites, then listen attentively; when he says: Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray,[1:7] then say Amin; when he bows then bow; when he says Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him), then say Allahumma Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O Allah, our Lord, to You is the praise);” when he prostrates then prostrate; and if he prays sitting down then all of you pray sitting down.’”

“When the Imam says: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him),’ say: ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O our Lord, to You is the praise).’”

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ الإِمَامُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ

“When the Imam says: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him),’ say: ‘Allahumma, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O Allah! O our Lord! To You is the praise).’”

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا قَالَ الإِمَامُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Imam is to be followed. Say the Takbir when he says it; bow if he bows; if he says 'Samiʿa l-lahu liman hamidah', say, ' Rabbana wa laka l-hamd', prostrate if he prostrates and pray sitting altogether if he prays sitting." (Using translation from Bukhārī 734)

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِفَلَا تَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعُونَ

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Indeed, the Imam is meant to be followed, so when he says 'Allahu Akbar,' then all of you say 'Allahu Akbar.' And when he bows, then all of you bow. And when he says 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah,' then say 'Rabbana lakal hamd.' And when he prays sitting, then all of you pray sitting, all together."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعِينَ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The imam has been appointed to be followed. So, when he says 'Allahu Akbar,' say 'Allahu Akbar' as well, and when he recites, listen attentively."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا

[Machine] Abu Musa, indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us, when he led us in prayer, he would say: "Indeed the Imam has been appointed to be followed, so when he says Allahu Akbar, say Allahu Akbar, and when he recites, be silent." Ali bin Umar Salim bin Nuh said: "He is not a strong narrator." The Shaykh has said: "Yet, he."

أَبُو مُوسَى إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا إِذَا صَلَّى بِنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ سَالِمُ بْنُ نُوحٍ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ

عَلَيه وَسَلَّم كَانَ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ قَالَ ربنا لك الحمد ثُمَّ قال الله أكبر حين يخر ساجدا

“When the Imam says: ‘Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him),’ say: ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O our Lord, to You is the praise).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 876)

"إذَا قال الإمامُ سَمِعَ الله لمِنْ حمِده فقولوا: اللهُمَّ ربّنا ولَك الحمدُ".

"إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمام لِيُؤْتَمَّ به، فإذا كبَّرَ فكبِّروا، وإِذَا قَرَأَ فأَنْصِتُوا وإِذا قال: سمِع اللَّه لمن حمد فقولوا: ربَّنَا لك الحمدُ ".

"إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ به، فلا تَخْتلفوا عليه، فإِذا كبَّر فكبِّروا، وإِذا ركع فاركعوا وإِذا قال: سمع اللَّه لمن حَمِده فقولوا: ربنَّا ولك الحمدُ، وإِذا سجد فاسجدوا وإِذا صلى جالِسًا فصلوا جلوسًا أَجمعون".

"لا تُبَادِرُوا الإِمَامَ، إِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وإِذَا قَال: وَلا الضَّالِّينَ فَقُولُوا: آمِين، وَإِذَا رَكعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإذَا قَال: سَمِعَ الله لِمَنْ حَمِدَهْ فَقُولُوا: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَلا تَرْفَعُوا قَبْلهُ".

"إِنَّما جعلَ الإِمامُ ليؤتَمَّ به، فإِذا كبَّر فكبِّروا، وإِذا قَرأ فأَنْصِتُوا، وإِذا قال، {غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ}، فقُولوا: آمين، وإذا رَكَعَ فاركعوا، وإذا قال: سمع اللَّه لمن حَمِدَهُ فقولوا: اللَّهُمَّ ربّنا ولك الحمد، وإذا سَجَدَ فاسْجُدُوا. وإِذا صلى جالسًا فصَلُّوا جلوسًا".

"إِنَّما جُعِلَ الإِمامُ ليؤتَمَّ به، فإِذا كبَّر فكبِّروا، وإِذَا قرَأَ فأَنْصِتُوا".

"إِنَّما الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِه، فإِذا كبَّرَ فَكبِّرُوا، وَإذا رَكعَ، فارْكعُوا، وإِذا قال: سمع اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَه -فقُولوا: الحَمْدُ للَّه".
