The questioner: Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling for a follower who lags behind the imam by a pillar?Meaning: For example, the imam prostrated, and when the imam stood up, the follower prostrated! The Shaykh: May Allah reward you, the scholarsThey say: If one intentionally lags behind until the imam prostrates and stands up, his prayer is invalid; because his imam preceded him by a complete pillar,And if he did not intend it, such as: If he was inattentive, or did not hear the sound; the imam's sound, then he performs the pillar he missed, and follows the imam.
And on this basis, if the imam stands up from prostration to standing while one is inattentive, we say: Prostrate and follow the imam.

The Shaykh: for example, if one prostrates following the imam;But he forgot to say: Subhan Rabbi al-A'la in prostration, we say, May Allah reward you: In this case, it is obligatory for you to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, unless you were entering with the imam from the beginning of the prayer, in which case the imam bears the prostration for you and you do not prostrate.
