أحمد:٢٦٥٤٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

مَا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرَ صَلَاتِهِ جَالِسًا

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew bulky and heavy he would observe (most of his Nafl) prayers sitting.  

مسلم:٧٣٢dوَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ وَحَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

لَمَّا بَدَّنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَثَقُلَ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلاَتِهِ جَالِسًا

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي كَثِيرًا مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ  

ahmad:26202Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl b. Abū Fudayk > al-Ḍaḥḥāk / Ibn ʿUthmān > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUrwah from his father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] she said that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to pray the most when he felt burdened and physically tired while sitting.  

أحمد:٢٦٢٠٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ ثَقُلَ وَبَدَّنَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ  

hakim:1184my father

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die until his most frequent prayer was performed sitting."  

الحاكم:١١٨٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ بِمَرْوَ ثنا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ أَنْبَأَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرَ صَلَاتِهِ جَالِسًا»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ
nasai-kubra:1362Sulaymān b. Salm > al-Naḍr > Yūnus > Abū Isḥāq > al-Aswad > Um Salamah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not perform most of his prayers while sitting, except for the obligatory ones. Shu'bah disagreed with this.  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٣٦٢أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

«مَا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ جَالِسًا إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ» خَالَفَهُ شُعْبَةُ
