Establishing the Prayer and the Sunnah Regarding Them
(144)
Chapter: What was narrated concerning the fact that the Imam is appointed to be followed
(144)
باب مَا جَاءَ فِي إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 1240
It was
narrated that Jabir said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell
ill,
and we prayed behind him while he was sitting down, and Abu Bakr
was
saying the Takbir so that the people could hear them. He turned to
us
and saw us standing, so he gestured to us to sit down. When he had
said the Salam, he said: ‘You were about to do the action of the
Persians and Romans, who remain standing while their kings are
seated.
Do not do that. Follow the lead of your Imam; if he prays
standing,
then pray standing, and if he prays sitting down, then pray
sitting
down.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُكَبِّرُ يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ تَكْبِيرَهُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَعَدْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا بِصَلاَتِهِ قُعُودًا فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ
" إِنْ كِدْتُمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا فِعْلَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومِ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى مُلُوكِهِمْ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا ائْتَمُّوا بِأَئِمَّتِكُمْ إِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا قِيَامًا وَإِنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا " .
