[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was thrown off a horse onto the trunk of a palm tree and his foot was dislocated. We went to him to console him and found him praying, so we prayed with his prayer while standing. When he finished praying, he said, "Indeed, the imam is appointed to be followed, so if he prays standing, then you also pray standing. And if he prays sitting, then you also pray sitting. Do not stand while he is sitting, as the people of Persia do with their kings."

صُرِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ فَرَسٍ عَلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ فَانْفَكَّتْ قَدَمُهُ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ نَعُودُهُ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يُصَلِّي فَصَلَّيْنَا بِصَلَاتِهِ وَنَحْنُ قِيَامٌ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَصَلُّوا وَإِنْ صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا وَلَا تَقُومُوا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ أَهْلُ فَارِسٍ بِعُظَمَائِهَا

"إِنَّمَا الإِمام جُنَّةٌ، فإِن صلَّى قائمًا فصلوا قيامًا، وإِنَّ صلَّى جالسًا فصلَّوا جلوسًا".
