أحمد:٢٦٤٤٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ الْمُطَّلِبَ بْنَ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا حَتَّى كَانَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ بِعَامٍ أَوْ عَامَيْنِ

[Machine] Narrated by Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she informed him saying, "I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying while sitting until a year before his death. He would pray in his tasbeeh (subh) while sitting, reciting the Surah slowly, making it longer than it actually was."  

الطبراني:١٩٧٣٦حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ الْعَمِّيُّ ثنا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ ثنا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ

عَنْ حَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا قَطُّ حَتَّى كَانَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِعَامٍ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي سُبْحَتِهِ قَاعِدًا وَيَقْرَأُ بِالسُّورَةِ فَيُرَتِّلُهَا حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا»
