[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sick, so he ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. She said: "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ found some ease from his illness, so he came and sat beside Abu Bakr. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Abu Bakr (to lead) while he was sitting and Abu Bakr while the people were standing. So the wording of their narration is equal and it refers to their prayer while sitting during illness. And in his prayer with Abu Bakr, while he was sitting and Abu Bakr was standing, it is an indication that the first act was abrogated and that the correct way is to pray standing. And if his Imam prays sitting with an excuse, then the success is from Allah."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ وَجِعًا فَأَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ قَالَتْ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَجَاءَ فَقَعَدَ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَمَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ وَفِي صَلَاتِهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا فِي مَرَضِهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى مَا قَصَدْنَاهُ بِهَذَا الْبَابِ وَفِي صَلَاتِهِ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمٌ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ الْأَوَّلَ صَارَ مَنْسُوخًا وَأَنَّ الصَّحِيحَ يُصَلِّي قَائِمًا وَإِنْ صَلَّى إِمَامُهُ قَاعِدًا بِالْعُذْرِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
