847. It was narrated that Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘When the Imâm recites, then listen attentively, and if he is sitting (in the prayer) then the first remembrance that anyone of you recites should be the Tashah-hud.’”’ (Sahih)

Arabic text

847 - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي غَلَّابٍ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا قَرَأَ الْإِمَامُ فَأَنْصِتُوا، فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ، فَلْيَكُنْ أَوَّلَ ذِكْرِ أَحَدِكُمْ التَّشَهُّدُ»

Commentary

We should listen attentively when the Imâm recites any other Chapter after Al-Fâtihah in the prayer of audible recitation. In Tashah-hud, first recite the prescribed invocation (At-Tahiyâtu Lillâhi...), then the Salutation (Salât) on the Prophet ﷺ, and then other supplications.
