أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : صَلَّى رسولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ شَاكٍ ، فَصَلَّى جَالِسًا وَصَلَّى وَرَاءَهُ قَوْمٌ قِيَامًا ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اجْلِسُوا ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : هَذِهِ السُّنَّةُ رَوَاهَا عَنِ الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، وَعَائِشَةُ ، وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَجَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، وَأَبُو أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيُّ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ ، وَقَيْسِ بْنِ قَهْدٍ ، وَجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَبِهِ قَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، وَالأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَأَبُو أَيُّوبَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، وَأَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْحَدِيثِ مِثْلَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ .
Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer in his house. He was ill and performed the prayer while sitting. The people behind him began to pray standing, so he gestured to them to sit down. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he said: "The Imam is appointed so that he may be followed. When he goes into bowing (ruku‘), you should also go into bowing. When he rises from bowing, you should also rise. And when he performs the prayer sitting, you should also perform the prayer sitting." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This is the Sunnah which Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) have narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Qais bin Qahd, Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) also hold this view. Jabir bin Zayd, Imam Awza‘i, Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Imam Ishaq, Abu Ayyub Sulaiman bin Dawud Hashimi, Abu Khaythama, Ibn Abi Shaybah, Muhammad bin Ismail (Imam Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him), and their follower scholars of hadith such as Imam Hamd bin Nasr and Imam Ibn Khuzaymah have also given fatwas in accordance with this.
