733. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ fell from a horse and got injured, so he led the Ṣalāt (prayer) sitting and we also offered Ṣalāt sitting. When he completed the Ṣalāt he said, "The Imām is to be followed; if he says Takbīr then say Takbīr, bow if he bows; raise your heads when he raises his head, when he says, 'Sami' Allāhu liman ḥamida, say 'Rabbanā lakal ḥamd', and prostrate when he prostrates."(2)

Arabic text

733 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: خَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ فَرَسٍ، فَجُحِشَ، فَصَلَّى لَنَا قَاعِدًا فَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ قُعُودًا، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ - أَوْ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ - لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ، فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا، وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ فَارْفَعُوا، وَإِذَا قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقُولُوا: رَبَّنَا لَكَ الحَمْدُ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا "
