It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell from a horse, and his (peace and blessings be upon him) foot was sprained. We came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to us with his hand. Then the next day we came again, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing the obligatory prayer sitting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to us with his hand: "Sit down." Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: "When the imam prays sitting, then all of you pray sitting, and when he prays standing, then you too pray standing."
