(17) باب الاِئْتِمَامِ بِمَنْ يَأْتَمُّ بِالإِمَامِ
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw that his companions tended to stand in the rear, so he said:
"Come forward and follow me, and let those who are behind you follow your lead. If peoplecontinue to lag behind, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will put them back."
