Sahih Muslim 427b (Book 4, Hadith 126) #8131
Respect for the Imam

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

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah said: Does the man who lifts his head before the Imam not fear that Allah may change his face into that of an ass?
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَا يَأْمَنُ الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ قَبْلَ الإِمَامِ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَ اللَّهُ صُورَتَهُ فِي صُورَةِ حِمَارٍ
