( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، ( وَحَدَّثَنَا ) أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْعَزَائِمِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو سَهْلٍ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْإِسْفَرَائِينِيُّ، ثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ قَالَا: ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَنْبَأَ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ:

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَبَّرَ فَكَبَّرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ خَلْفَهُ لِيُسْمِعَنَا فَبَصُرَ بِنَا قِيَامًا فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْنَا أَنِ اجْلِسُوا. فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: كِدْتُمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا فِعْلَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ لِعُظَمَائِهِمُ. ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ، فَإِنْ صَلَّوْا قِيَامًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا، وَإِنْ صَلَّوْا جُلُوسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the takbīr, and Abū Bakr said the takbīr behind him so that he could make us hear. Then he saw us standing, so he gestured to us to sit. When he finished the prayer he said: "You were about to do what the Persians and the Romans do for their great ones. Follow your imams: if they pray standing, pray standing, and if they pray sitting, pray sitting."
