| 10 Call to Prayers (Adhaan) |
| Hadith number 688 |
| Chapter: 51 The Imam is appointed to be followed |
| 688 Narrated Aisha: the mother of the believers: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) during his illness prayed at his house while sitting whereas some people prayed behind him standing. The Prophet (peace be upon him) beckoned them to sit down. On completion of the prayer, he said, ‘The Imam is to be followed: bow when he bows, raise up your heads (stand erect) when he raises his head and when he says, ‘Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah’ (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him) say then ‘Rabbana wa laka l-hamd’ (O our Lord! All the praises are for You), and if he prays sitting then pray sitting.” |
