عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَدَّنَ وَثَقُلَ يَقْرَأُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِذَا غَبَرَ مِنَ السُّورَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ أَوْأَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became old and heavy, he would recite (the Qur'an) sitting as much as Allah willed, and when thirty or forty verses of the surah remained, he would stand up, recite them, and then perform sajdah (prostration).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is established from this hadith that sitting in a single rak‘ah and then standing up again is permissible.
