حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ شَاكٍ جَالِسًا، وَصَلَّى وَرَاءَهُ قَوْمٌ قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اجْلِسُوا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সহধর্মিণী ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁর অসুস্থ অবস্থায় তাঁর ঘরে বসে সালাত আদায় করছিলেন। একদল সাহাবী তাঁর পিছনে দাঁড়িয়ে সালাত আদায় করতে লাগলেন। তিনি তাঁদের প্রতি ইঙ্গিত করলেন, বসে যাও। সালাত শেষ করে তিনি বললেন, ইমাম নির্ধারণ করা হয়েছে তাকে অনুসরণ করার জন্য। কাজেই তিনি রুকূ‘ করলে তোমরা রুকূ‘ করবে; আর তিনি মাথা উঠালে তোমরাও মাথা উঠাবে। (৬৮৮) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১১৫৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
