Hazrat Jabir narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once fell from a horse and struck against the trunk of a date-palm, which caused an injury to his foot. We came to visit him, and he was performing prayer while sitting in a room of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). We began to pray standing behind him. Then, when we visited him a second time, he was again performing prayer while sitting. We began to follow him in prayer while standing, so he gestured to us to sit down.
