وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي إِمَامُكُمْ فَلَا تَسْبِقُونِي بِالرُّكُوعِ وَلَا بِالسُّجُودِ وَلَا بِالْقِيَامِ وَلَا بِالِانْصِرَافِ: فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ أَمَامِي وَمن خَلْفي ". رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Anas said: One day the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, led us in prayer. When he had finished, he turned to us and said: O people, I am your imam, so do not precede me in bowing, prostrating, standing, or turning away, for I see you before me and behind me. Muslim transmitted it.
