2. Book of Ṣalāh
٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The prayer of a person who prays sitting down is equal to half of the prayer." So, I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying sitting down, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I heard that you said, 'The prayer of a person who prays sitting down is equal to half of the prayer,' and yet you are praying sitting down?" He replied, "Yes, but I am not like any one of you."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ جَالِسًا نِصْفُ الصَّلَاةِ» قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ «صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ جَالِسًا نِصْفُ الصَّلَاةِ» وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي جَالِسًا؟ قَالَ «أَجَلْ وَلَكِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ»
