أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
أَنَّ نَاسًا دَخَلُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُونَهُ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ جَالِسًا فَقَامُوا فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اقْعُدُوا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلَّوْا قِيَامًا وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلَّوْا جُلُوسًا»

✧ Some people entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to visit him. The prayer time came, and he led them in prayer sitting. They stood, so he gestured to them to sit. When he finished his prayer, he said, 'The imam is appointed only to be followed. When he prays standing, then pray standing. When he bows, then bow. When he prays sitting, then pray sitting.'
