[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The sitting prayer is equivalent to half of the standing prayer."  

البيهقي:٤٥٩٣ – أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكٍ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِلَالَ بْنَ يَسَافٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ صَلَاةُ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ  

أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ غُنْدَرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ تَخْصِيصُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالصَّلَاةِ جَالِسًا وَأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ صَلَاةُ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ فِي غَيْرِهِ وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي بَابِ الْخَصَائِصِ فِي أَوَّلِ كِتَابِ النِّكَاحِ

malik:8-20 – Yaḥyá > Mālik > Ismāʿīl b. Muḥammad b. Saʿd b. Abū Waqqāṣ > a freed slave of Liʿamriw b. al-ʿĀṣ Aw Liʿabd Allāh b. ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Muhammad ibn Said ibn Abi Waqqas from a mawla of Amr ibn al-As or of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prayer of one of you sitting down is only equal to half the prayer of one of you when he is standing."  

مالك:٨-٢٠ – حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِعَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَوْ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ صَلاَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ مِثْلُ نِصْفِ صَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ
