Sahih al-Bukhari 5658
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ يَعُودُونَهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ جَالِسًا فَجَعَلُوا يُصَلُّونَ قِيَامًا، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمِ اجْلِسُوا، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ " إِنَّ الإِمَامَ لَيُؤْتَمُّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا، وَإِنْ صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مَنْسُوخٌ لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم آخِرَ مَا صَلَّى صَلَّى قَاعِدًا وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ قِيَامٌ.
Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā narrated to us: Yaḥyā narrated to us: Hishām narrated to us; he said: My father informed me, from ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her): Some people came to visit the Prophet ﷺ during his illness. He led them in prayer while seated, but they prayed standing, so he gestured to them to sit. When he finished, he said, “The imam is to be followed. When he bows, bow; when he rises, rise; and if he prays seated, then pray seated.”
Abū ʿAbd Allāh said: al-Ḥumaydī said, “This report has been abrogated, because the last time the Prophet ﷺ prayed, he prayed seated while the people behind him stood.”
