When Bowing, Getting up from a Bow, Prostrating, or Sitting in Between Prostrations (84)

'Abi Hurayrata

is reported as saying: The Prophet

said: "Verily the leader ('Imãm) was put in place in order to be followed, so when he makes takbeer, then, make takbeer; when he bows, then, bow; when he says sami`a 'allãhu liman hamidahu

then, say: Rabbanã wa lakal-hamdu⁽⁹⁶⁾;

when he prostrates, then, prostrate; and if he prays sitting down, then, pray, sitting down, altogether.
