The Prophet said, "The Imam is to be followed. Say the Takbir when he says it; bow if he bows; if he says 'Sami a-l-lahu Liman hamida', say, ' Rabbana wa-laka-l-hamd', prostrate if he prostrates and pray sitting altogether if he prays sitting."

that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) I fell down from a horse once. He was hurt, so he led them in prayer while he was seated. They prayed behind him sitting. (When it was over) he turned to them and said "The imam is or the imam is made that he should be followed. When he calls the takbir, you do that. When he bows down, you should bow down. When he raises (his head), you too rise up. When he calls out, "Allah hears he who praises Him" say, "O our Lord for you is all praise". And when he goes into prostration, you too go into prostration. And if he prays sitting down, you too pray sitting down." [Ahmed 12075, Bukhari 805, Muslim 411, Abu Dawud 601, Nisai 828, Ibn e Majah 1238]

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed while he was ill.
