Sunan Ibn Majah 1237
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَعُودُونَهُ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ جَالِسًا فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلاَتِهِ قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اجْلِسُوا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ. فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا. وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا. وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا " .
Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaibah narrated to us: Abdah bin Sulaiman narrated to us, from Hisham bin Urwah, from his father, from Aishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell ill, and some of his Companions came to visit him. The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed seated, while they prayed behind him standing. He gestured to them to sit. When he finished, he said: The imam was appointed to be followed. When he bows, bow; when he rises, rise. If he prays seated, then pray seated.
