Abū Hurairah narrated: “Muḥammad ﷺ said: ‘Does not the one who raises his head before the Imām fear that Allāh will transform his head into a donkey’s head?’” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Qutaibah said: “Ḥammād said: ‘Muḥammad bin Ziyād said to me: He (ﷺ) only said: Does he not fear.’”[1] Abū ‘Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ, and Muḥammad bin Ziyād is from Al-Baṣrah, and he is trustworthy, and his Kunyah is Abū Al-Ḥārīth.
٥٨٢ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا يَخْشَى الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَ اللهُ رَأْسَهُ رَأْسَ حِمَارٍ» قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ: قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: قَالَ لِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ: إِنَّمَا قَالَ أَمَا يَخْشَى. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ هُوَ بَصْرِيٌّ ثِقَةٌ يُكْنَى أَبَا الْحَارِثِ.

Raising one’s head from Rukū’ (bowing) or Sujūd (prostration) before the Imām, or to perform any other action before the Imām is an extremely unreasonable action and a matter of ignorance. Because thus a person can never be allowed to finish his prayer before the Imām, neither is it accepted; and also the real purpose of appointing an Imām, is to follow him and obey him.
