ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ لَمَّا حَطَمَهُ السِّنُّ كَانَ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا
“I did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offer any of the night prayers in any way other than standing, until he became old. Then he started to pray sitting down until, when there were thirty or forty Verses left of his recitation, he would stand up and recite them, and prostrate.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1227)
«مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي شَيْئًا مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي السِّنِّ فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ فَإِذَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّورَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً أَوْ أَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ»
