٢۔٥٩٧ صَلَاةُ الْقَاعِدِ فِي النَّافِلَةِ، وَذِكْرُ الِاخْتِلَافِ عَلَى أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ فِي ذَلِكَ

nasai-kubra:1361ʿAmr b. ʿAlī > Abū ʿĀṣim > ʿUmar b. Abū Zāʾidah > Abū Isḥāq > al-Aswad > ʿĀʾishah

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not refrain from (kissing) my forehead when he was fasting, and he did not die until most of his prayers were offered sitting down." Then she said something to the effect that (referred to the prayers) other than the obligatory prayers. "And the dearest of actions to him was that in which a person persists, even if it is little." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1652)   

الكبرى للنسائي:١٣٦١أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

«مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْ وَجْهِي وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ وَمَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ قَاعِدًا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعَنَاهَا إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ مَا دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهِ الْإِنْسَانُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا» خَالَفَهُ يُونُسُ  

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  

nasai-kubra:1363Ismāʿīl b. Masʿūd > Khālid > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > Abū Salamah > Um Salamah

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pass away until most of his prayers were offered sitting down, except for the obligatory prayers, and the dearest of actions to him were those which were done persistently, even if they were few." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1654)   

الكبرى للنسائي:١٣٦٣أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَانَ «أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ قَاعِدًا إِلَّا الْفَرِيضَةَ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ أَدْوَمُهُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ» خَالَفَهُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ  

nasai-kubra:1364al-Ḥasan b. Muḥammad al-Zaʿfarānī > Ḥajjāj > Ibn Jurayj > ʿUthmān b. Abū Sulaymān > Abū Salamah > ʿĀʾishah

'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died (in this very state) that he observed most of his (Nafl) prayers in a sitting position. (Using translation from Muslim 732c)  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٣٦٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى كَانَ «كَثِيرٌ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»
