During the ailment of the Prophet (ﷺ) some people came to visits him. He led them in prayer while sitting. but they prayed standing, so he waved to them to sit down. When he had finished the prayer, he said, An Imam is to be followed, so when he bows, you should bow. and when he raises his head, you should raise yours, and if he prays sitting. you should pray sitting. Abu `Abdullah said Al-Humaidi said, (The order of ) This narration has been abrogated by the last action of the Prophet (ﷺ) as he led the prayer sitting, while the people prayed standing behind him.'

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna telah menceritakan kepada kami Yahya telah menceritakan kepada kami Hisyam dia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku Ayahku dari Aisyah radliallahu 'anha bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah dijenguk oleh beberapa orang ketika beliau sakit kemudian beliau mengerjakan shalat sambil duduk maka orang-orang pun ikut mengerjakan shalat sambil berdiri lalu beliau memberi isyarat supaya mereka juga duduk seusai shalat beliau bersabda: 'Sesungguhnya dijadikannya Imam itu untuk diikuti apabila dia ruku' maka kalian juga harus ruku' apabila dia mengangkat kepala maka kalian juga harus mengangkat kepala apabila dia shalat sambil duduk maka kalian harus shalat sambil duduk.' Abu Abdullah berkata; Al Humaidi berkata; hadits ini hukumnya mansukh (terhapus) karena Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam di akhir hayatnya selalu mengerjakan shalat sambil duduk sementara orang-orang yang di belakang beliau shalat sambil berdiri.''
