Authentic 4 scholars’ grades Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sunan Abu Dawud 539

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏

إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلاَ تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي ‏"

Abu Qatadah reported on the authority of his father :

the prophet (ﷺ) said; When the Iqamah for prayer is pronounced, do not stand until you see me.

Abu Dawud said: this has been narrated by Ayyub and Hajjaj al-Sawwaf from Yahya and Hisham al-Duatawa’i in a similar way, saying : Yahya wrote to me (in this way). And this has been narrated by Mu’awiyah b. Sallam and ‘Ali b. al-Mubarak from Yahya: “Until you see me and show tranquility”.

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( إِذَا أُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاة ) : أَيْ إِذَا ذُكِرَتْ أَلْفَاظ الْإِقَامَة. قَالَهُ الْحَافِظ ( فَلَا تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي ) : أَيْ قَدْ خَرَجْت كَمَا فِي رِوَايَة مَعْمَر الْآتِيَة وَهُوَ مَحَلّ التَّرْجَمَة قَالَ الْحَافِظ فِي الْفَتْح : قَوْله : لَا تَقُومُوا نَهْي عَنْ الْقِيَام , وَقَوْله حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي تَسْوِيغ لِلْقِيَامِ عِنْد الرُّؤْيَة وَهُوَ مُطْلَق غَيْر مُقَيَّد بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ أَلْفَاظ الْإِقَامَة , وَمِنْ ثَمَّ اِخْتَلَفَ السَّلَف فِي ذَلِكَ كَمَا سَيَأْتِي , وَفِيهِ جَوَاز الْإِقَامَة وَالْإِمَام فِي مَنْزِله إِذَا كَانَ يَسْمَعهَا وَتَقَدَّمَ إِذْنه فِي ذَلِكَ. اِنْتَهَى. وَمَعْنَى الْحَدِيث أَنَّ جَمَاعَة الْمُصَلِّينَ لَا يَقُومُونَ عِنْد الْإِقَامَة إِلَّا حِين يَرَوْ…
