Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7329 — The imam praying sitting
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).
Sayyiduna Qays bin Qahd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Our imam once fell ill and prayed sitting for some days, and we prayed following his prayer. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The imam is a leader (amir). If he prays standing, you also pray standing, and if he prays sitting, you also pray sitting.
