عربی (اصل)
730/948(صحيح)عن جابر قال: اشتكى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فصلينا وراءه- وهو قاعد – وأبو بكر يسمع الناس تكبيره، فالتفت إلينا فرآنا قياماً، فأشار إلينا فقعدنا، فصلينا بصلاته قعوداً، فلمّا سلم، قال:" إن كدتم لتفعلوا فعل فارس والروم. يقومون على ملوكهم وهم قعود، فلا تفعلوا، ائتموا بأئمتكم، إن صلى قائماً فصلوا قياماً، وإن صلى قاعداً فصلوا قعوداً(1)".
انگریزی ترجمہ
Jabir said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) fell ill, and we prayed behind him while he was sitting, and Abu Bakr was relaying his takbir to the people. He turned to us and saw us standing, so he gestured for us to sit down. We prayed seated following his prayer. When he gave the salutation, he said: 'You were about to do as the Persians and Romans do — they stand before their kings while they sit. Do not do that. Follow your imams: if he prays standing, pray standing; if he prays sitting, pray sitting.'
