Sahih Muslim 414a (Book 4, Hadith 92) #8097
Following the Imam in Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about following the Imam in prayer and reciting the takbir when he does.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah 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.
