Jami at-Tirmidhi 582 (Book 6, Hadith 39) #26147
Respect for the Imam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad warned against disrespecting the Imam by raising one's head before him, as Allah may punish such an act with a transformation of the head into that of a donkey.

Abu Hurairah narrated: "Muhammad said: 'Does not the one who raises his head before the Imam fear that Allah will transform his head into a donkey's head?'"
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، وَهُوَ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثِقَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ ‏"‏ أَمَا يَخْشَى الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ الإِمَامِ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ رَأْسَ حِمَارٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ قَالَ لِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَا يَخْشَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ هُوَ بَصْرِيٌّ ثِقَةٌ وَيُكْنَى أَبَا الْحَارِثِ
