بَابُ مَنْ قَدَرَ عَلَى الْقِيَامِ بِمَشَقَّةٍ فِي الْفَرْضِ أَوِ النَّفْلِ وَصَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَصَلَاتُهُ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ
Chapter on One Able to Stand with Difficulty in Obligatory or Voluntary Prayer, but Prays Seated—His Prayer Is Half That of the Standing
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 2428 — on One Able to Stand with Difficulty
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ شَاكِيًا بِفَارِسَ فَكُنْتُ أُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا قَائِمًا وَلَيْلًا طَوِيلًا قَاعِدًا، فَإِذَا قَرَأَ قَائِمًا رَكَعَ أَوْ خَشَعَ قَائِمًا، وَإِذَا قَرَأَ قَاعِدًا رَكَعَ قَاعِدًا
Abdullah bin Shaqiq says: I became ill in Persia, so I used to pray sitting. When I inquired about this from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray for a long part of the night standing and for a long part of the night sitting. When he recited (Qur'an) standing, he would also perform ruku' standing, and when he recited sitting, he would also perform ruku' sitting.
