أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رِوَايَةً قَالَ:
إِنَّ الْإِمَامَ أَمِينٌ، أَوْ أَمِيرٌ، فَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا، فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا، وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا
