[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
