Congregational Prayer and Its Virtue

1136. hadíth

وَ سَأَلَهُ حَفْصُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ: إِذَا قَالَ اَلْمُؤَذِّنُ قَدْ قَامَتِ اَلصَّلاَةُ أَ يَقُومُ اَلنَّاسُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمْ أَوْ يَجْلِسُونَ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ إِمَامُهُمْ قَالَ «لاَ بَلْ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمْ فَإِنْ جَاءَ إِمَامُهُمْ وَ إِلاَّ فَلْيُؤْخَذْ بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ اَلْقَوْمِ فَيُقَدَّمَ.

Hafs ibn Salim asked: "When the muezzin (caller to prayer) says 'The prayer has been established' (during the iqamah), should the people stand up or remain seated until their Imam arrives?" He (a.s) replied: "No, they should stand up. If their Imam arrives, they proceed with him; otherwise, a man from among the congregation should be taken by the hand and brought forward to lead."
