Published English translation

14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ’Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about one who raises his head before the Imam. Is he to return to Ruku‘ (bowing down on one’s knees) if the Imam delays, or raise his head?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he must not raise his head.’”
