Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 154

Musnad of Abū Ḥamzah Anas ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī, the Servant of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: سَقَطَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ فَرَسٍ، فَجُحِشَ شِقُّهُ الْأَيْمَنُ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ نَعُودُهُ، فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَصَلَّى قَاعِدًا وَصَلَّيْنَا قُعُودًا. فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا». وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً: «وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا: رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا أَجْمَعُونَ».

Translation

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ fell from a horse and suffered abrasions on his right side. We went to visit him and when the time of prayer came, he led us in prayer sitting down, and we prayed sitting. When he concluded the prayer he said: “The imam is appointed only to be followed. When he says Allāhu Akbar, say Allāhu Akbar; when he bows, bow.” Sufyān added on one occasion: “when he prostrates, prostrate; and when he says Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah, say Rabbanā wa laka'l-ḥamd; and if he prays sitting, then all of you pray sitting.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 154
