Sunan Ibn Majah 961 (Book 5, Hadith 159) #30313
Respect for the Imam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against disrespecting the Imam by raising one's head before him, as Allah may turn the person's head into a donkey.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Does not the one who raises his head before the Imam fear that Allah may turn his head into the head of a donkey?’"
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ أَلاَ يَخْشَى الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ الإِمَامِ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَ اللَّهُ رَأْسَهُ رَأْسَ حِمَارٍ؟
