English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abbad ibn 'Abbad al-Muhallabi, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abu Salama — from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: 'The imam is appointed to be followed. When he says Allahu Akbar, say Allahu Akbar. When he bows, bow. When he says: Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah — say: Rabbana laka al-hamd. And when he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting.'
