حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ

عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ اشْتَكَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ تَكْبِيرَهُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا بِصَلاَتِهِ قُعُودًا فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنْ كِدْتُمْ لَتَفْعَلُوا فِعْلَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى مُلُوكِهِمْ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ إِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا

Translation

✧ On the authority of Jābir who said: The Prophet ﷺ was ill, so we prayed behind him while he was seated, and Abū Bakr was making his takbīr audible to the people. He turned toward us and saw us standing, so he gestured to us, and we sat down and prayed following his prayer, seated. When he said the salām, he said, "You were about to do the deed of the Persians and the Romans: they stand before their kings while they are seated. So do not do that. Follow your imams. If he prays standing, then pray standing; and if he prays seated, then pray seated."
