Muwatta Malik #207
Prayer
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn AIqama
from Malik ibn Abdullah as-Sadi that Abu Hurayra said, "The one who
raises his head and lowers it before the imam - his forelock is in the
hand of a shaytan."
Malik said, concerning someone who forgot
and raised his head before the imam in ruku or sujud, "The sunna of
that is to return to bowing or prostrating and not to wait for the
imam to come up. What he has done is a mistake, because the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The imam is
appointed to be followed as a leader, so do not oppose him.' Abu
Hurayra said, 'The one who raises his head and lowers it before the
imam - his forelock is in the hand of a shaytan.' "
