Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) saying: The Imam is appointed to be followed. So recite takbir when he recites it, and bow down when he bows down and when he utters: Allah listens to him who praises Him, say O Allah, our Lord, for Thee be the praise. And when he prays, standing, you should pray standing. And when he prays sitting, all of you should pray sitting.
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا يُونُسَ مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقُولُوا: اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا، فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا، فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعُونَ
  ( ابو علقمہ کے بجائے ) ابو ہریرہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ کے آزاد کردہ غلام ابو یونس نے حدیث بیان کی ، کہا : میں نے ابو ہریرہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ کو رسول اللہﷺ سے روایت کرتے سنا کہ آپﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’امام اس لیے بنایا گیا ہے کہ اس کی پیروی کی جائے ، جب وہ تکبیر کہے تو تم تکبیر کہو اور جب وہ رکوع کرے تو تم رکوع اور جب وہ سمع الله لمن حمده کہے تو تم اللهم ، ربنا لك الحمد کہو ، اور جب وہ کھڑا ہو کر نماز پڑھے تو تم بھی کھڑے ہو کر پڑھو اور جب وہ بیٹھ کر پڑھے تو تم بھی سب کے سب بیٹھ کر نماز پڑھو ۔ ‘ ‘

sahih-muslim-936

Ubaidullah b. Abdullah reported: I visited 'A'isha and asked her to tell about the illness of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). She agreed and said: The Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) was seriously ill and he asked whether the people had prayed. We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Put some water in the tub for me. We did accordingly and he (the Holy Prophet) took a bath;and, when he was about to move with difficulty, he fainted. When he came round, he again said: Have the people said prayer? We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) again said: Put some water for me in the tub. We did accordingly and he took a bag, but when he was about to move with difficultyhe fainted. When he came round, he asked whether the people had prayed. We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He said: Put some water for me in the tub. We did accordingly and he took a bath and he was about to move with difficulty when he fainted. When he came roundhe said: Have the people saidprayer? We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. She ('A'isha) said: The people were staying in the mosque and waiting for the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) to lead the last (night) prayer. She ('A'isha) said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) sent (instructions) to Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. When the messenger came, he told him (Abd Bakr): The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) has ordered you to lead the people in prayer. Abu Bakr who was a man of very tenderly feelings asked Umar to lead the prayer. 'Umar said: You are more entitled to that. Abu Bakr led the prayers during those days. Afterwards the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) felt some relief and he went out supported by two men, one of them was al-'Abbas, to the noon prayer. Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him. he began to withdraw, but the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) told him not to withdraw. He told his two (companions) to seat him down beside him (Abu Bakr). They seated him by the side of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr said the prayer standing while following the prayer of the Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and the people Bald prayer (standing) while following the prayer of Abu Bakr. The Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) was seated. Ubaidullah said: I visited 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas, and said: Should I submit to you what 'A'isha had told about the illness of the Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم )? He said: Go ahead. I submitted to him what had been transmitted by her ('A'isha). He objected to none of it, only asking whether she had named to him the man who accompanied al-'Abbas. I said: No. He said: It was 'Ali.

A'isha, the wife of the Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), said: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) fell ill and his illness became serious, he asked permission from his wives to stay in my house during his illness. They gave him permission to do so. He stepped out (of'A'isha's apartment for prayer) supported by two persons. (He was so much weak) that his feet dragged on the ground and he was being supported by 'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib and another person. 'Ubaidullah said: I informed 'Abdullah (b.

A'isha, the wife of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), said: I tried to dissuade the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) from it (i. e. from appointing Abu Bakr as the Imam.) and my insistence upon it was not due to the fact that I entertained any apprehension in my mind that the people would not love the man who would occupy his (Prophet's) place (i. e. who would be appointed as his caliph) and I feared that the people would be superstitious about one who would occupy his place. I, therefore, desired that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) should leave Abu Bakr aside in this matter.

sahih-muslim-940

A'isha reported: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) came to my house, he said: Ask Abu Bakr to lead people in prayer. 'A'isha narrated: I said, Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a man of tenderly feelings; as he recites the Qur'an, he cannot help shedding tears: so better command anyone else to lead the prayer. By Allah, there is nothing disturbing in it for me but the idea that the people may not takeevil omen with regard to one who is the first to occupy the place of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). I tried to dissuade him (the Holy Prophet) twice or thrice (from appointing my father as an Imam in prayer), but he ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer and said: You women are like those (who had) surrounded Yusuf.

A'isha reported: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) was confined to bed, Bilal came to him to summon him to prayer. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Ask Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. She ('A'isha) reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, Abu! Bakr is a tenderhearted man, go when ]be would stand at your place (he would be so overwhelmed by feelings) that he would not be able to make the people hear anything (his recitation would not be audible to the followers in prayer). You should better order Umar (to lead the prayer). He (the Holy Prophet) said: Ask Abu Bakr to lead people in- prayer. She ('A'isha) said: I asked Hafsa to (convey) my impression to him (the Holy Prophet) that Abu Bakr was a tenderhearted man, so when he would stand at his place, he would not be able to make the people bear anything. He better order Umar. Hafsa conveyed this (message of Hadrat 'A'isha) to him (the Holy Prophet). The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: (You are behaving) as if you are the females who had gathered around Yusuf. Order Abd Bakr to lead the people in prayer. She ('A'isha) reported: So Abu Bakr was ordered to lead the people in prayer. As the prayer began, the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) felt some relief; he got up and moved supported by two persons and his feet dragged on earth (due to excessive weakness). 'A'isha reported: As he (the Holy Prophet) entered the mosque. Abu Bakr perceived his (arrival). He was about to with. draw, but the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) by the gesture (of This hand) told him to keep standing at his place. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) came and seated himself on the left side of Abu Bakr. She ('A'isha) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) was leading people in prayer sitting.
