أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَی عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا فَقُلْتُ حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّکَ قُلْتَ إِنَّ صَلَاةَ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَی النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا قَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَکِنِّي لَسْتُ کَأَحَدٍ مِنْکُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1664
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said: “I saw the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم praying sitting down and I said: ‘I was told that you said that the prayer of one who is sitting down is worth half of the prayer of one who is standing up.’ He said:‘Yes indeed, but I am not like any one of you.” (Sahih)
