Sahih Muslim Hadith 928 – Following The

English

[928] 84 – (413) It was narrated that Jâbir said: "The Messenger of Allah jW was sick and we prayed behind him while he was (offering prayers) sitting and Abfl Bakr was repeating his TakbIr so that the people could hear. He turned to us and saw us standing, and gestured to us that we should sit, so we followed him in prayer, sitting down. When he had said the Salâm he said: 'Just now you almost did what the Persians and Romans do; they stand for their kings when they are sitting. Do not do that. Follow your Imâm: if he prays standing then pray standing, and if he prays sitting then pray sitting."
