831. It was narrated that Hittân bin 'Abdullâh said: "Abû Mûsâ led us in prayer and when he was sitting, a man from among the people entered and said: 'Prayer is based on righteousness and is always mentioned alongside Zakâh (in the Qur'an).' When Abû Mûsâ had said the Salâm, he turned to the people and said: 'Which of you spoke these words?' The people kept quiet. Then he said: 'O Hittân, perhaps you said it?' He said: 'No, but I was afraid that you would rebuke me for it.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ taught us our prayer and Sunnah prayers, and he said: The Imâm is appointed to be followed, so when he says the Takbîr, say the Takbîr; when he says "Not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray,"[1] say Âmîn, and Allâh will respond to you; when he from bowing and rises up says, 'Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah (Allâh hears those who praise Him), say Rabbanâ lakal-hamd (Our Lord, to You be praise),' and Allâh will hear you; when he prostrates, prostrate, and when he sits up, sit up. The Imâm should prostrate before you do and sit up before you do.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'This makes up for that.'"[2] (Salîh)

830 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْقَعْدَةِ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ: أُقِرَّتِ الصَّلَاةُ بِالْبِرِّ وَالزَّكَاةِ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ أَبُو مُوسَى أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمُ الْقَائِلُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ؟ فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ. قَالَ: يَا حِطَّانُ، لَعَلَّكَ قُلْتَهَا. قَالَ: لَا وَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَبْكَعَنِي بِهَا فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا صَلَاتَنَا وَسُنَّتَنَا فَقَالَ: " إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ: {غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ} [الفاتحة: 7] فَقُولُوا: آمِينَ. يُجِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَقَالَ: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ. فَقُولُوا: رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَسْمَعِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا؛ فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَسْجُدُ قَبْلَكُمْ وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ ". قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ»
