Hadith 886

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : قَدْ أَمْلَيْتُ خَبَرَ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ " اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا " . ثناهُ الرَّبِيعُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ ، نَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ
Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I have written down the hadith of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became ill, so we performed prayer behind him (standing) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to us (to sit and pray), so we also sat down.
