في الإمام يصلي جالساIf the Imam Leads the Prayer Sitting, What Should the Followers Do?
Hadith 7329
٧٣٢٩ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن إسماعيل (عن قيس) (١) بن قهد قال: اشتكى ⦗٢٦⦘ إمامنا فصلى قاعدا (أيامًا) (٢) فصلينا بصلاته فقال أبو هريرة: الإمام (أمير) (٣) (فإن) (٤) صلى قائما فصلوا قياما وإن صلى قاعدا فصلوا قعودا (٥).
Hazrat Qais bin Qahd narrates that our Imam once became ill, and we performed the prayer according to his manner. Then Hazrat Abu Hurairah said that the Imam is the leader; if he performs the prayer standing, you should also perform it standing, and if he performs the prayer sitting, you should also perform it sitting.
