عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ:
سَقَطَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ فَرَسٍ فَجُحِشَ شِقُّهُ الْأَيْمَنُ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ قَاعِدًا وَصَلَّوْا مَعَهُ قُعُودًا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقُولُوا: رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعِينَ
Translation
✧ The Prophet ﷺ fell from a horse and injured his right side. He prayed with them sitting, and they prayed with him sitting. When he finished, he said: “The imām is appointed only to be followed. When he prays standing, then pray standing; when he bows, then bow; when he says, ‘God hears the one who praises Him,’ then say, ‘Our Lord, and to You is the praise’; and when he prays sitting, then all of you pray sitting.”
