وَ أَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ قَبْلَ اَلْإِمَامِ أَ يَعُودُ فَيَرْكَعُ إِذَا أَبْطَأَ اَلْإِمَامُ وَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مَعَهُ قَالَ لاَ»
And as for what was narrated by Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from Abdillah ibn al-Mughirah from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim, he said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, was asked about a man who raises his head from rukuh before the imam (of prayer); should he return and perform rukuh again if the imam (of prayer) delays, so that he may raise his head along with him? Imam عليه السلام said: “No.”
