حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَلاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ. فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ. وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعُونَ، وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّفَّ فِي الصَّلاَةِ، فَإِنَّ إِقَامَةَ الصَّفِّ مِنْ حُسْنِ الصَّلاَةِ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Imam is (appointed) to be followed. So do not differ from him, bow when he bows, and say, "Rabbana-lakal hamd" if he says "Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah"; and if he prostrates, prostrate (after him), and if he prays sitting, pray sitting all together, and straighten the rows for the prayer, as the straightening of the rows is amongst those things which make your prayer a correct and perfect one. (See Hadith No)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ অনুসরণ করার জন্যই ইমাম নির্ধারণ করা হয়। কাজেই তার বিরুদ্ধাচরণ করবে না। তিনি যখন রুকূ‘ করেন তখন তোমরাও রুকু‘ করবে। তিনি যখন سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ বলেন, তখন তোমরা رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ বলবে। তিনি যখন সিজদা্ করবেন তখন তোমরাও সিজদা্ করবে। তিনি যখন বসে সালাত আদায় করেন, তখন তোমরাও সবাই বসে সালাত আদায় করবে। আর তোমরা সালাতে কাতার সোজা করে নিবে, কেননা কাতার সোজা করা সালাতের সৌন্দর্যের অন্তর্ভুক্ত। (৭৩৪; মুসলিম ৪/১৯, হাঃ ৪১৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৬৭৮, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
