Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person's ruku' and sujud are equal to the imam's ruku' and sujud, does this fall under preceding the imam and not following him?
Answer:
It falls under disagreement; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. This is a disagreement with the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and disagreement includes both agreement and disagreement. Yes.

Answer:
It falls under disagreement; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
When he says takbir, say takbir; when he bows, bow; when he prostrates, prostrate
إذا كبر فكبروا، إذا ركع فاركعوا، إذا سجد فاسجدوا
