Sunan Ibn Majah 846 (Book 5, Hadith 44) #30198
Following the Imam in Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of following the Imam in prayer and how to do so.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah 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.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ ‏{غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ}‏ فَقُولُوا آمِينَ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ‏.‏ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of following an Imam during prayer. It is important to listen attentively when he recites and say "Allahu Akbar" when he says it. When he recites a verse from Quran, we should say "Amin". We should bow when he bows and prostrate when he prostrates. If the Imam prays sitting down then all should pray sitting down as well. This hadith teaches us that we must follow our leader in prayer and be attentive while doing so as it is an act of worship towards Allah SWT.
