Sahih Muslim 604a-b (Book 5, Hadith 200) #8514
Waiting for the Prophet's Lead

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised his followers to not stand up for prayer until they see him.

Abu Qatada reported: The Messenger of Allah said: When the Iqama is pronounced do not get up till you see me Ibn Hatim was in doubt whether it was said:" When the Iqama is pronounced" or" When call is made".
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الصَّوَّافِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلاَ تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ ‏"‏ إِذَا أُقِيمَتْ أَوْ نُودِيَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، وَقَالَ، إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ وَزَادَ إِسْحَاقُ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ حَدِيثَ مَعْمَرٍ وَشَيْبَانَ ‏"‏ حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي قَدْ خَرَجْتُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of patience and obedience in Islam. It was narrated by Abu Qatada that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that when the call to prayer is made or when the iqama is pronounced one should not stand up until they see him. This teaches us that we should be patient and obedient to our leader and wait for his lead before taking any action. We should also remember that Allah rewards those who are patient and obedient with His mercy and blessings. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about humility as it reminds us of our place in relation to our leader; we must always follow his lead even if it means waiting a little longer than usual before taking action.
