Narrated Jabir Ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode a horse in Medina. It threw him off at the root of a date-palm. His foot was injured. We visited him to inquire about his illness. We found him praying sitting in the apartment of Aisha. We; therefore; stood; praying behind him. He kept silent. We again visited him to inquire about his illness. He offered the obligatory prayer sitting. We; therefore; stood praying behind him; he made a sign to us and we sat down. When he finished the prayer; he said: When the imam prays sitting; pray sitting; and when the imam prays standing; pray standing; and do not act as the people of Persia used to act with their chiefs i.e. the people stood and they were sitting.
