Hadith 14205
اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : صُرِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ فَرَسٍ عَلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ ، فَانْفَكَّتْ قَدَمُهُ ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ نَعُودُهُ ، فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يُصَلِّي ، فَصَلَّيْنَا بِصَلَاتِهِ وَنَحْنُ قِيَامٌ ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى ، قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ ، فَإِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا ، فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا ، وَإِنْ صَلَّى جَالِسًا ، فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا ، وَلَا تَقُومُوا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ أَهْلُ فَارِسٍ بِعُظَمَائِهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell from a horse and landed on a branch or trunk of a date-palm, and sprained his foot. We went to visit the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to inquire about his health, and there we saw him leading the prayer. We also joined in and prayed standing. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Imam is appointed only so that he may be followed, so when he prays standing, you should also pray standing; if he prays sitting, you should also pray sitting. If he is sitting, then do not remain standing, as the people of Persia do with their chiefs and elders.
