حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتِ:
اشْتَكَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَعُودُونَهُ، فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَالِسًا، فَصَلُّوا بِصَلَاتِهِ قِيَامًا، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اجْلِسُوا فَجَلَسُوا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا، وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا

Machine translation, not reviewed
The Prophet ﷺ fell ill, and some of his Companions came in to visit him. The Prophet ﷺ prayed sitting, and they prayed behind him standing. He gestured to them to sit, so they sat. When he finished, he said: "The imam is appointed only to be followed. So when he bows, bow; when he rises, rise; and when he prays sitting, pray sitting."
