Sunan an-Nasai 797 (Book 10, Hadith 21) #15405
Leading Prayer with the Prophet's Guidance

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad instructed Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer while he himself prayed sitting down.

It was narrated from Aisha may Allah be pleased with her, that the Messenger of Allah told Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. She said: "The Prophet was in front of Abu Bakr and he prayed sitting down, and Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer, and the people were behind Abu Bakr".
أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَصَلَّى قَاعِدًا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ وَالنَّاسُ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of leadership and obedience. It was narrated from Aisha that the Messenger of Allah instructed Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer while he himself prayed sitting down. This shows us that even though Prophet Muhammad was present, he still chose to have someone else lead the prayer, demonstrating his respect for leadership and obedience. He also showed us that it is important to follow instructions even if they come from someone who is not as knowledgeable or experienced as we are. By following this example, we can learn how to be humble and respectful towards those who are leading us, no matter their age or experience level.

The values taught by this hadith include humility, respect for authority figures, and obedience towards instructions given by those in charge. We should strive to emulate these values in our own lives so that we can become better leaders ourselves one day.
