English translation

607. It was reported from Ḥuṣain — among the offspring of — Sa’d bin Mu’ādh,[1] from Usaid bin Ḥuṣair that he would lead them in prayer. Once, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to visit him (Usaid, while he was sick), and they said, "O Messenger of Allāh! Our Imām is sick (and cannot stand)." So he replied: "If he prays sitting down, then you should pray sitting down." (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: This Hadīth is not connected (in its chain).

607 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي حُصَيْنٌ، مِنْ وَلَدِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ إِمَامَنَا مَرِيضٌ، فَقَالَ: «إِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِمُتَّصِلٍ
