687 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَلَا تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي خَرَجْتُ»

Commentary
When one's rising depends on sighting the Imâm, then what good is there in calling out the Iqâmah in advance? Therefore, the Iqâmah should be pronounced on seeing the Imâm coming forth, and this is the right thing to do. Saying the Iqâmah in advance of the arrival of the Imâm may cause embarrassment.
