English translation

1364. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ led us in prayer one day, then he turned to face us and said: 'I am your Imâm, so do not hasten to bow or prostrate or stand or leave before I do. I can see you in front of me and behind me.' Then he said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you had seen what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much.' We said: 'What have you seen, O Messenger of Allâh?' He said: 'Paradise and Hell.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1363 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ ابْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي إِمَامُكُمْ، فَلَا تُبَادِرُونِي بِالرُّكُوعِ وَلَا بِالسُّجُودِ، وَلَا بِالْقِيَامِ وَلَا بِالِانْصِرَافِ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي وَمِنْ خَلْفِي»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا» قُلْنَا: مَا رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ»

Commentary

The prayer-leader should also be a pragmatic and sensible person. He should not sit so long as to deprive people of their business and sustenance. He should be a practically-minded person. He should stay until the worshippers complete the prayers, so that he might not cause hindrance to the prayers of the worshippers.
