حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ المعنى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَلَا تُكَبِّرُوا حَتَّى يُكَبِّرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَلَا تَرْكَعُوا حَتَّى يَرْكَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا وَلَا تَسْجُدُوا حَتَّى يَسْجُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعُونَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَفْهَمَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: The imam is appointed only to be followed; when he says Allah is most great, say Allah is most great and do not say Allah is most great until he says Allah is most great. When he bows; bow; and do not bow until he bows. And when he says Allah listens to him who praise Him, say O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the praise. The version recorded by Muslim goes: And to Thee be the praise: And when he prostrate; and do not prostrate until he prostrates. When he prays standing, pray standing, and when he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting. Abu Dawud said: The words O Allah, our Lord, to You be the praise reported by Sulaiman were explained to me by some of our companions.
