عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ:
كَانَ النَّاسُ لَا يَأْتَمُّونَ بِإِمَامٍ إِذَا كَانَ لَهُ وِتْرٌ وَلَهُمْ شَفْعٌ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، وَيَجْلِسُونَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ، حَتَّى صَلَّى ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَرَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَائِمًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ سَنَّ لَكُمْ سُنَّةً فَاسْتَنُّوا بِهَا
Translation
✧ The people would not follow an imam when he had an odd number of rakʿahs and they had an even number, with him sitting and them sitting while he was standing, until Ibn Masʿūd prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ standing. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Ibn Masʿūd has established for you a practice, so follow it."
