حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ. فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ. وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعُونَ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Imam is to be followed. Say the Takbir when he says it; bow if he bows; if he says 'Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah', say, ' Rabbana wa laka l-hamd', prostrate if he prostrates and pray sitting altogether if he prays sitting
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ ইমাম নির্ধারণ করা হয় তাঁর অনুসরণের জন্য। তাই যখন তিনি তাকবীর বলেন, তখন তোমরাও তাকবীর বলবে, যখন তিনি রুকূ‘ করেন তখন তোমরাও রুকূ‘ করবে। যখন سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ বলেন, তখন তোমরা رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ বলবে আর তিনি যখন সিজদা্ করেন তখন তোমরাও সিজদা্ করবে। যখন তিনি বসে সালাত আদায় করেন তখন তোমরাও বসে সালাত আদায় করবে। (৭২২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৬৯০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
