Bayhaqi 5935 — One who relays the imam's takbir to the people

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، ثنا جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، أنبأ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ⦗٣٣٩⦘ يُكَبِّرُ لِيُسْمِعَ النَّاسَ تَكْبِيرَهُ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا، فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا، فَصَلَّيْنَا بِصَلَاتِهِ قُعُودًا، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنْ كِدْتُمْ آنِفًا تَفْعَلُونَ فِعْلَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ؛ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى مُلُوكِهِمْ، وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ، فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا، ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ، إِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا، وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill, and we prayed behind him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was making the people hear his (peace and blessings be upon him) takbir. He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards us while we were praying standing, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to us, and then we prayed sitting along with him (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had said the salam, he said: "You were about to do as the people of Persia and Rome do: they stand before their kings while the kings are seated. Do not do so. Follow your imams: if he leads the prayer standing, then pray standing, and if he leads the prayer sitting, then pray sitting."
