Musnad Abi Ya'la 1896 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a horse
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَرَسًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَصَرَعَهُ عَلَى جِذْمِ نَخْلَةٍ ، فَانْفَكَّتْ قَدَمُهُ ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ نَعُودُهُ ، فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فِي مَشْرُبَةٍ لِعَائِشَةَ يُسَبِّحُ جَالِسًا ، فَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَسَكَتَ عَنَّا ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يُصَلِّي الْمَكْتُوبَةَ ، فَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ : إِذَا صَلَّى الْإِمَامُ جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا ، وَلَا تَفْعَلُوا كَمَا يَفْعَلُ أَهْلُ فَارِسَ بِعُظَمَائِهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rode a horse in Madinah, and it threw him onto the stump of a date palm, so that the bone of his foot (peace and blessings be upon him) was dislocated. We came to visit him in his illness and found him in an upper room belonging to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), offering a voluntary prayer sitting. We stood behind him (for prayer), and he said nothing to us. Then we came to him on another occasion and found him leading the obligatory prayer. We stood behind him, and he signalled to us (to sit), so we sat. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, he said: 'When the imam prays sitting, then you too pray sitting, and when he prays standing, then you too pray standing, and do not do as the people of Persia do with their great ones (who sit while the people stand before them with folded hands).'"
