[Machine] About the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, she said: He used to pray four before noon prayer, two after it, two before afternoon prayer, two after sunset prayer, and two after night prayer. Then he would pray nine during the night. I asked: Was he standing or sitting? She said: He used to pray standing for a long time and sitting for a long time. I asked: How did he do when he was standing? And how did he do when he was sitting? She said: When he recited while standing, he would perform the prostration while standing, and when he recited while sitting, he would perform the prostration while sitting, and he would perform two units before the dawn prayer.  

أحمد:٢٥٨١٩حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ
