أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی جَالِسًا حَتَّی دَخَلَ فِي السِّنِّ فَکَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَقْرَأُ فَإِذَا غَبَرَ مِنْ السُّورَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ أَوْ أَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَ بِهَا ثُمَّ رَکَعَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1654
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “I never saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم pray sitting down until he grew old. Then he would pray sitting down and when there were thirty or forty verses left, be would stand up and recite them, then bow.” (Sahih)
