Sunan Abi Dawud 1242 (Book 4, Hadith 45) #21534
Following the Prophet's Lead in Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) leading a prayer and how both sections of the congregation followed him in bowing, prostrating, and standing.

Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by 'Aishah through a different chain of narrators. She said: The Messenger of Allah uttered the takbir and the section that was in the same row with him also uttered the takbir. He then bowed and they also bowed, and he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he raised his head and they also raised (their heads). The Messenger of Allah then remained seated. They prostrated alone and stood up and retraced their footsteps and stood behind them. Then the other section came; they stood up and uttered the takbir and bowed by themselves. The Messenger of Allah prostrated himself and they also prostrated with him. Then the Messenger of Allah stood up and they performed the second prostration by themselves. Then both the sections stood up and prayed with the Messenger of Allah . He bowed and they also bowed, and then he prostrated himself and they also prostrated themselves. Then he returned and performed the second prostration and they also prostrated with him as quickly as possible, showing no slackness in quick prostration. The Messenger of Allah then uttered the salutation. After that the Messenger of Allah stood up. Thus everyone participated in the entire prayer.
قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَأَمَّا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ فَحَدَّثَنَا قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ، قَالَتْ كَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَكَبَّرَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّذِينَ صُفُّوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَرَكَعُوا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَسَجَدُوا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَرَفَعُوا ثُمَّ مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ جَالِسًا ثُمَّ سَجَدُوا هُمْ لأَنْفُسِهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامُوا فَنَكَصُوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ يَمْشُونَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى قَامُوا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الأُخْرَى فَقَامُوا فَكَبَّرُوا ثُمَّ رَكَعُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَسَجَدُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمُ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَامَتِ الطَّائِفَتَانِ جَمِيعًا فَصَلُّوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَرَكَعَ فَرَكَعُوا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَسَجَدُوا جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ عَادَ فَسَجَدَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَسَجَدُوا مَعَهُ سَرِيعًا كَأَسْرَعِ الإِسْرَاعِ جَاهِدًا لاَ يَأْلُونَ سِرَاعًا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَسَلَّمُوا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ شَارَكَهُ النَّاسُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ كُلِّهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of following the Prophet Muhammad's lead when it comes to prayer. It is narrated by Abu Dawud that Aisha reported that during a prayer, two sections of people were present. The Prophet Muhammad led them in bowing, prostrating and standing up for prayer. Both sections followed his lead and bowed when he did, prostrated when he did and stood up for prayer with him as well. After this was done they both performed their second prostration together with him as quickly as possible showing no slackness or delay. After this was done they all said salutations together before ending their prayers. This hadith teaches us that we should follow our leader’s example during prayers so that we can all pray together without any delays or distractions from one another’s movements or actions during our prayers.
