أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ
سَقَطَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ فَرَسٍ فَجُحِشَ شِقُّهُ الْأَيْمَنُ فَحَضَرَتْ صَلَاةٌ فَصَلَّى بِنَا قَاعِدًا فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعِينَ»

✧ The Prophet ﷺ fell from a horse and injured his right side. When it was time for prayer, he prayed with us sitting. When he finished his prayer, he said: 'The imam is only appointed to be followed. When he says the takbir, say the takbir; when he bows, bow; when he rises, rise; when he says “Allah hears the one who praises Him,” say “Our Lord, and to You belongs praise”; and when he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting.'
