Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26439

Muhammad bin Bashar told us, Abdul Rahman bin Mahdi told us, Sufyan told us, on the authority of Abu Ishaq, on the authority of Abdullah bin Yazid, he told us Al-Baraa, and he is not lying, said that when we prayed behind the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he raised his head from bowing, no man bowed. From us his back until the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, prostrates and we prostrate. He said, and on the authority of Anas, Muawiyah, and Ibn Masada, the owner of the armies. And Abu Hurairah. Abu Issa said the hadith of Al-Baraa is a hasan and authentic hadith. And about it, the people of knowledge say that those who succeed the imam only follow The Imam does not bow except after he has bowed, and they do not rise except after he has raised. We do not know of any difference between them on that matter.
