  *Let's continue on these Hadiths*👇.                                 Narrated Aisha (رضي الله عنها) The mother of the believers: _Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during his illness prayed at his house while sitting whereas some people prayed behind him standing. The Prophet (ﷺ) 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."_

                                        Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’: 
When a person prays behind an imam, four scenarios may apply: 
*1 – Anticipation (doing a movement before the imam)*
*2 – Delaying*
*3 – Doing an action simultaneously with the imam*
*4 – Following*

_#1 is prohibited._
_#2 is makrooh without an excuse._
_#3 Neither prohibited nor encouraged._
_#4 Following is the Sunnah, and what it means is that a person starts to do the actions of prayer immediately after the ___m, but w___em at the same time._

For example, when he bows, you bow, even if you have not completed the recitation that is mustahabb [recommended, encouraged], and even if you have a verse still to go, because that would mean that you are lagging behind, so you do not complete it. In sujood, when the imam rises from his prostration, you follow the imam, and your following him is better than your remaining in prostration making du’aa’ to Allaah, because your prayer is connected___*PAGE 8*__oined to follow your imam.

On the last Hadith, a question was asked to Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:  *Some worshippers were delayed in praying Maghrib, and they found that the imam had started to pray ‘Isha’. Should they pray Maghrib in a congregation on their own, or join the imam? And how should they pray?*
___*PAGE 9*___.

                                                He replied: _The correct view is that if a person comes (to the mosque) and the imam is praying ‘Isha’, whether he is with a group or not, he should join the imam, with the intention of praying Maghrib. It does not matter if the imam’s intention is different from that of one who is praying behind him, because the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Actions are but by intentions, and each person will have but that which he intended.”_. *We can also remind ourselves from the third Hadith that the imam share the same reward with the congregation when he prays correctly, but bears the sin only when he blunder*.
