أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَسًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَصَرَعَهُ عَلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ فَانْفَكَّتْ قَدَمُهُ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ نَعُودُهُ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فِي مَشْرُبَةٍ لِعَائِشَةَ يُسَبِّحُ جَالِسًا فَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَتَنَكَّبَ عَنا ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يُصَلِّي الْمَكْتُوبَةَ فَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «إِذَا صَلَّى الْإِمَامُ جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَلَا تَفْعَلُوا كَمَا يَفْعَلُ أَهْلُ فَارِسٌ بِعُظَمَائِهَا»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a horse in Medina. It threw him off at the root of a date-palm. His foot was injured. We visited him to inquire about his illness. We found him praying sitting in the apartment of Aisha. We, therefore, stood, (praying) behind him. He kept silent. We again visited him to inquire about his illness. He offered the obligatory prayer sitting. We, therefore, stood (praying) behind him; he made a sign to us and we sat down. When he finished the prayer, he said: When the imam prays sitting, pray sitting; and when the imam prays standing, pray standing, and do not act as the people of Persia used to act with their chiefs (i.e. the people stood and they were sitting). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 602)
