أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ اللَّيْثِ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُكَبِّرُ فَيَسْمَعُ النَّاسُ تَكْبِيرَهُ؛ قَالَ: فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِنْ كِدْتُمْ آنِفًا تَفْعَلُونَ فِعْلَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ، يَقُومُونَ عَلَى مُلُوكِهِمْ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ، فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا، ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ، إِنْ صَلَّى الْإِمَامُ قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا، وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill, so we prayed behind him while he was seated, and Abu Bakr was saying the takbir so that the people could hear his takbir. He (the narrator) said: Then he turned to us and saw us standing, so he gestured to us, and we sat down. When he said the salam, he said: "You were about to do the act of the Persians and the Romans just now: they stand before their kings while they are seated. Do not do that. Follow your imams: if the imam prays standing, then pray standing; and if he prays sitting, then pray sitting."
