Sesungguhnya imam dijadikan untuk diikuti, apabila dia rukuk maka rukuklah, bila dia mengangkat kepalanya maka angkatlah kepala
Imam Muslim : 628حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا يُونُسَ مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلَّوْا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعُونَ
Narrated by Abu ath-Thahir, from Ibnu Wahb, from Haiwah, from Abu Yunus, freed slave of Abu Hurairah: Abu Hurairah said, from Rasulullah, peace be upon him, 'The *imam* is made to lead. When he says *takbir*, say *takbir*. When he *rukuk*, do *rukuk*. When he says, "May Allah hear who praises Him," say, "O Allah, to You be praise." If he prays sting, pray sting if he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting.'
