English Translation

Hadrat Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be well pleased with him) narrated that the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) fell from a horse and was injured, so he led us in prayer while sitting, and we prayed with him sitting. Then when he finished, he stated: "The imam has been appointed only to be followed. When he says the takbir, then say the takbir; when he bows, then bow; when he raises up, then raise up; when he says 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah,' say 'Rabbana wa lakal hamd'; when he prostrates, then prostrate; and when he prays sitting, then pray sitting, all of you."
