عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلاَ تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي خَرَجْتُ ”
Abdullāh ibn Abī Qatādah narrated from his father that: the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “When the prayer is established, then do not stand until you see that I have come out.” (Sahīh al-Bukhārī 637, Sahīh Muslim 604, Al-Tirmidhī 592. Al-Nasā’ī 687, Abū Dawūd 539)
Imām Al-Tirmidhī said: “A group of people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) and others disliked that people wait for the imām while they are standing.
Some of them said: If the imām is in the mosque and the prayer is established, they only stand when the mu’adhdhin says ‘qad qāmat as-salāh, qad qāmat as-salāh’ (the prayer has been established, the prayer has been established). This is the opinion of (Imām) Ibn al-Mubārak.” (Sunan Al-Tirmidhī 592)
Imām Abū Dāwūd said in his Masā’il: “I said to (Imām) Ahmad: When do people stand for prayer?” He said: “When he – meaning the mu’adhdhin – says “qad qāmat as-salāh” (the prayer has been established).” I said:” What if the imām has not yet come?” He said:” They do not stand until they see him.” (Masāil Imām Ahmad pg. 45)
Imām Al-Bayhaqī said: “We have been narrated to from Anas ibn Mālik, may Allāh be pleased with him, that when it was said ‘qad qāmat as-salāh’ (the prayer has been established), he would quickly stand up. And from al-Husayn ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib, may Allāh be pleased with both of them, that he used to do that. This is the opinion of ‘Atā’ and al-Hasan.” (Sunan al-Kubrā 2/92)
Hāfidh Ibn al-Mulaqqin said: “Hishām – meaning Ibn ‘Urwah – disliked that one stands until the mu’adhdhin says: “qad qāmat as-salāh” (the prayer has been established).” (al-Tawdīh 6/408)
Shaykh ul-Islām ibn Taymiyyah said:
“It is recommended that the imām and the followers stand for prayer when the mu’adhdhin (caller to prayer) says: “qad qāmat as-salāh” (the prayer has been established), based on what was narrated from al-Hajjāj ibn Farūkh al-Wāsitī from al-‘Awwām ibn Hawshab from ‘Abdullāh ibn Abī Awfā (رضي الله عنه) who said:
When Bilāl said “qad qāmat as-salāh” (the prayer has been established), the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) would stand up.
(Abū Ya’lā in Ithāf al-Khiyarah 4/494 and at-Tabarānī in al-Kabīr 23/244, and al-Bazzār 3371. It’s chain is weak. In it is al-Hajjāj ibn Farūkh who is weak – a possessor of munākīr (rejected narrations) as mentioned in al-Kāmil 2/233. With this, al-Bayhaqī weakened the hadīth in as-Sunan al-Kubrā 2/222, and al-Haythamī in Majma’ az-Zawā’id 2/272)
(This narration) is preserved from al-Hajjāj, and it has been said that it is not narrated except from him, even though there is some weakness in him, there is no hadīth in this chapter/topic that contradicts it, and it is supported by the practice of the sahābah (Companions).
Ibn al-Mundhir and others said: Anas ibn Mālik used to stand up when it was said “qad qāmat as-salāh” (the prayer has been established). And it is reported regarding al-Husayn ibn ‘Alī, may Allāh be pleased with both of them, that he used to do that. (al-Awsat 4/166)
No disagreement with this is known from any Companion, and this must be followed, especially when the discussion is about recommendation and nothing else can be relied upon besides this.” (Slightly abridged, Sharh al-Umdah of Ibn Taymiyyah 2/636-637)
