Is it necessary also for muqtadis to recite Taqbir(Allahu Akbar) after imaam in a prayer?
Answer:
It is sunnah to make the takbir upon every rising, lowering, standing or sitting, except when one comes up from bowing, in which case one should say, "Allah hears him who praises Him”Abu Huraira reported: When the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) got up for prayer, he would say the takbir (Allah-o-Akbar) when standing, then say the takbir when bowing. then say:" Allah listened to him who praised him," when coming to the erect position after bowing, then say while standing:" To Thee, our Lord, be the praise", then recite the takbir when getting down for prostration, then say the takbir on raising his head, then say the takbir on prostrating himself, then say the takbir on raising his head. He would do that throughout the whole prayer till he would complete it, and he would say the takbir when he would get up at the end of two rak'as after adopting the sitting posture. Abu Huraira said: My prayer has the best resemblance amongst you with the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). SAHIH AL-MUSLIM[Book 004, Number 0765]
Narrated Imran bin Husain: I offered the prayer with 'Ali in Basra and he made us remember the prayer which we used to pray with Allah's Apostle. 'Ali said Takbir on each rising and bowing. SAHIH AL-BUKHARI[Volume 1, Book 12, Number 751]
Narrated 'Ikrima: I saw a person praying at Muqam-lbrahim (the place of Abraham by the Ka'ba) and he was saying Takbir on every bowing, rising, standing and sitting. I asked Ibn 'Abbas (about this prayer). He admonished me saying: "Isn't that the prayer of the Prophet?" SAHIH AL-BUKHARI[Volume 1, Book 12, Number 754]
Thus it is clear from the above guidance of mohammad(pbuh) that we should say takbir when we move from one position to another in prayer & even if we are praying behind an imam or alone.
