حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Hurairah

English translation
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The Imam is appointed to be followed. When he says Allahu Akbar, then say Allahu Akbar; when he bows, then bow; when he says Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, then say Rabbana wa lakal-hamd; when he prostrates then prostrate; if he prays standing, then pray standing, and if he prays sitting down then pray sitting down.”
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ ইমাম নিযুক্ত করা হয় তাকে অনুসরণ করার জন্য। অতএব তিনি যখন তাকবীর বলেন, তোমরাও তাকবীর বলো, তিনি যখন রুকুতে যান, তোমরাও রুকূতে যাও, তিনি যখন সামিআল্লাহু লিমান হামিদা বলেন, তোমরা তখন রাব্বানা ওয়ালাকাল হামদ বলো, তিনি দাঁড়ানো অবস্থায় সালাত (নামায/নামাজ) পড়লে তোমরাও দাঁড়ানো অবস্থায় সালাত পড়ো এবং তিনি বসা অবস্থায় সালাত পড়লে তোমরাও বসা অবস্থায় সালাত পড়ো।
