Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Muhammad ibn Hatim and 'Ubayd Allah ibn Sa'id narrated to me, saying: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us from Hajjaj al-Sawwaf, who narrated to us from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salama and 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Qatadah, from Abu Qatadah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 539Sahih (Al-Albani) And Ibn Hatim said: .
The Shaykh : This addresses those in the mosque: when the prayer is established, they should not stand up until they see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) coming out of his house. And that, may Allah know best, is so that standing up would not be difficult for them, and so that they would not rush before the imam takes his place, because the followers are followers of the imam. If they stood up while in their rows, they would have stood in their places before the imam took his place. For this reason, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from standing up until they saw him. Also, the mu'adhdhin may establish the prayer based on the time allotted to him, while the imam may not be present; he may be occupied with a task, prevented by an obstacle, or for other reasons. The second explanation: When do the people stand up for prayer?
When the Iqamah for prayer is pronounced, do not stand until you see me.
إذا أقيمت الصلاة فلا تقوموا حتى ترونيWhen the prayer is established - or - the call is made
