Musnad Abi Ya'la 4807 — during his illness the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فِي وَجَعِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ، فَقَامُوا ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَجَلَسُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ ، فَارْكَعُوا ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ ، فَاسْجُدُوا ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا ، فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that during his illness the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in prayer while sitting, and they all stood up. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) signalled to them to sit, so they sat down. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam is appointed only to be followed. So when he bows, you bow too; when he prostrates, you prostrate too; and when he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting as well."
