Rasul Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ne farmaya: ”Imam isi liye hota hai ke (namaz mein) is ki iqtida ki jaye, is ki khilaf-warzi na karo, chunancha jab wo «Allahu Akbar» kahe to tum «Allahu Akbar» kaho, jab wo ruku' kare to tum bhi ruku' karo, jab wo «Sami'Allahu liman hamidah» kahe to tum (is ke jawab mein) «Allahumma Rabbana wa lakal hamd» kaho, jab wo sajda kare to tum bhi sajda karo, aur jab imam baith kar namaz parhe to tum bhi baith kar namaz parho.“
