592. 'Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When the Iqāmah is called for the prayer, then do not stand until you see that I have come out." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Anas. And the Hadīth of Anas is not preserved.
Abū 'Eisā said: "The Hadīth of Abū Qatādah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. There are those among the people of knowledge, among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, who dislike for the people to wait for the Imām while they are standing.
Some of them said that when the Imām is in the Masjid and the Iqāmah has been called for the prayer, then they only stand when the Mu'adh-dhin says: "Qad qāmatīṣ-Ṣalāt" this is the view of Ibn Al-Mubārak.

Commentary
Hadīth 1367 of Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim in which Abū Hurairah ﷺ reports that the Iqāmah had been pronounced, we stood up for prayer and we straightened
the rows, the Prophet ﷺ had not yet come out to us; while no. 1369 tells that the Iqāmah used to be pronounced for the Prophet ﷺ to lead the prayer and the people had already taken their places in the rows before the Prophet ﷺ would stand at his place. The reconciliation is that the people should stand up only after seeing the Imām if the Imām is not already in the mosque, as he ﷺ said: 'When the prayer is ready, do not stand until you see me.'
