281. Al-Barā' said: "When we performed Ṣalāt behind Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, he would raise his head from bowing, and no man among us would bend his back
until Allāh's Messenger ﷺ prostrated, then we prostrated.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
He said: There are narrations on this topic from Anas, Mu'āwiyah, Ibn Mas'adah the commander of the armies, and Abū Hurairah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Al-Barā' is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
It is the opinion of the people of knowledge: That the one who is behind an Imām only follows the Imām in what he has done, and he does not bow until after he has bowed, and he does not raise his head until after he has raised his. We do not know of any difference of opinion among them in that.

Commentary
The objective of following an Imām is that the follower follows the Imām in every action of prayer, he should not precede the Imām at all, neither should he go along with the Imām in Rukū', Sujūd and other action of prayer, instead he should make the movements after the Imām.
