Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 83-93
Chapter 19:
Following the Imam.
Anas b. Malik
reported:
The
Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) fell down from a horse and his right side was grazed. We
went to him to inquire after his health when the time of prayer came. He led us
in prayer in a sitting posture and we said prayer behind him sitting, and when
he finished the prayer he said: The Imam is appointed only to be followed; so
when he recites takbir, you should also recite that; when he prostrates, you
should also prostrate; when he rises up, you should also rise up, and when he
said" God listens to him who praises Him," you should say:" Our
Lord, to Thee be the praise," and when he prays sitting, all of you should
pray sitting. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 83)

'A'isha reported:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell ill and some of his Companions came to inquire
after his health. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said prayer sitting, while (his
Companions) said it (behind him) standing. He (the Holy Prophet) directed them
by his gesture to sit down, and they sat down (in prayer). After finishing the
(prayer) he (the Holy Prophet) said: The Imam is appointed so that he should be
followed, so bow down when he bows down, and rise up when he rises up and say
(prayer) sitting when he (the Imam) says (it) sitting. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 88)
This hadith is narrated with the same
chain of transmitters by Hisham b. 'Urwa. (Explaining

Jabir reported:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was ill and we said prayer behind him and he was
sitting. And Abu Bakr was making audible to the people his takbir. As he paid
his attention towards us he saw us standing and (directed us to sit down) with
a gesture. So we sat down and said our prayer with his prayer in a sitting
posture. After uttering salutation he said: You were at this time about to do
an act like that of the Persians and the Romans. They stand before their kings
while they sit, so don't do that; follow your Imams. If they say prayer
standing, you should also do so, and if they say prayer sitting, you should
also say prayer sitting. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 90)
Jabir said:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led the prayer and Abu Bakr was behind him. When the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the takbir, Abu Bakr also recited (it) in order
to make it audible to us. And the rest of the hadith is like one transmitted by
Laith. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 91)
Abu Huraira
reported:
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The Imam is appointed, so that he should be
followed, so don't be at variance with him. Recite takbir when he recites it;
bow down when he bows down and when he says:" Allah listens to him who
praises Him," say:" O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be the Praise."
And when he (the Imam) prostrates, you should also prostrate, and when he says
prayer sitting, you should all observe prayer sitting. (Explaining
Sahih Muslim Book 4 - Hadith 92)
A hadith like this has been
transmitted by Hammam b. Munabbih from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the
authority of Abu Huraira. (Explaining
