حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّی کَانَ أَکْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَکَانَ أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ کَانَ يَسِيرًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1225
It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: "By the One Who took his soul (i.e., the soul of the Prophet SAW), he did not die until he offered most of his prayers sitting down. And the dearest of the actions to him was the righteous action that the person does regularly, even if it were a little."(Sahih).
