[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray mostly while sitting, except for the obligatory prayers. The actions that he loved the most were those that were consistent, even if they were few.
كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ جَالِسًا إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ مَا دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهِ الْإِنْسَانُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا

‘By the One Who took his soul (i.e., the soul of the Prophet ﷺ), he did not die until he offered most of his prayers sitting down. And the dearest of the actions to him was the righteous action that the person does regularly, even if it were a little.”
وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ ﷺ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا
“By the One Who took his ﷺ soul, he did not die until most of his prayers were offered sitting down. And the most beloved of deeds to him was a righteous deed which a person persists in doing, even if it is something small.”
وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ ﷺ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا
[Machine] And he (referring to the Prophet ﷺ) who took his own life means that the Prophet ﷺ did not pass away until he used to perform most of his prayers while sitting, except the obligatory ones, and the most beloved action to him was the one that a person consistently does, even if it is little.
وَالَّذِي تَوَفَّى نَفْسَهُ تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا تُوُفِّيَ حَتَّى كَانَتْ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ قَاعِدًا إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَكَانَ أَعْجَبُ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا
[Machine] "Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said, 'By the One who has taken his soul, the Prophet ﷺ did not pass away until his most frequent prayer was the one he performed while sitting, except for the obligatory prayers. And his most beloved action to him was that which a servant consistently adheres to, even if it is small.'"
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ وَالَّذِي تَوَفَّى نَفْسَهُ مَا مَاتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى كَانَتْ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ قَاعِدًا إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pass away until most of his prayers were offered sitting down, except for the obligatory prayers, and the dearest of actions to him were those which were done persistently, even if they were few." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1654)
مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرَ صَلَاتِهِ قَاعِدًا إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ مَا دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا
‘By the One Who took his soul (i.e., the soul of the Prophet ﷺ), he did not die until he offered most of his prayers sitting down. And the dearest of the actions to him was the righteous action that the person does regularly, even if it were a little.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1225)
وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pass away until his most frequent prayer was while he was sitting, and the most beloved action to him was whatever the servant persistently did, even if it was small."
«مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ مَا دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا»
[Machine] "And the one who gave up his soul refers to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . He would never pass away except that he would increase in his prayers, except for the obligatory prayers. And the most beloved action to him was that which a person would continue to perform consistently, even if it was small."
«وَالَّذِي تُوُفِيَ نَفْسُهُ تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا تُوُفِّيَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ قَاعِدًا إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَكَانَ أَعْجَبُ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا»
‘By the One Who took his soul (i.e., the soul of the Prophet ﷺ), he did not die until he offered most of his prayers sitting down. And the dearest of the actions to him was the righteous action that the person does regularly, even if it were a little.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1225)
«وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَتْ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا»
"عن أم سلمة قَالَتْ: والذي توفى نفسه ما توفي حتى كان أكثر صلاته قاعدًا إلا المكتوبة، وَكَانَ أعْجَب العمل إليه الذي يدوم عليه صاحبه وإن كان يسيرًا".
