Chapter: About The Imam Praying While Sitting Down.
Hadith 607
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحُبَابِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي حُصَيْنٌ مِنْ وَلَدِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ إِمَامَنَا مَرِيضٌ ، فَقَالَ : " إِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِمُتَّصِلٍ .
Husain reported on the authority of the children of Saad bin Muadh that Usaid bin Hudair used to act as their Imam. (when he fell ill) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him inquiring about his illness. They said: Messenger of Allah, our Imam is ill. He said: When he prays sitting, pray sitting. Abu Dawud said: The chain of this tradition is not continuous (muttasil)
