أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ أَبُو عَوْفٍ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ
صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ خَلْفَهُ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَبَّرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُسْمِعُنَا قَالَ فَنَظَرَنَا قِيَامًا فَقَالَ «اجْلِسُوا» أَوْمَأَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَجَلَسْنَا فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «كِدْتُمْ تَفْعَلُوا فِعْلَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومَ بِعُظَمَائِهِمِ ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ فَإِنْ صَلُّوا جُلُوسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا وَإِنْ صَلُّوا قِيَامًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Zuhr prayer while he was sitting, with Abu Bakr behind him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the takbir, Abu Bakr said the takbir so that we could hear him. He (the narrator) said: We looked, standing, and he said, 'Sit down,' gesturing that to them. He said: So we sat down. When he finished the prayer, he said, 'You almost did what the Persians and Romans do with their great ones: stand before them while they sit. Follow your imams. If they pray sitting, then pray sitting; and if they pray standing, then pray standing.'
