The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Imam is (appointed) to be followed. So do not differ from him, bow when he
bows, and say, "Rabbana-lakal hamd" if he says "Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah"; and if he prostrates,
prostrate (after him), and if he prays sitting, pray sitting all together, and straighten the rows for the
prayer, as the straightening of the rows is amongst those things which make your prayer a correct and
perfect one. (See Hadith No. 657).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 116
