بَابُ جَوَازِ التَّطَوُّعِ مِنْ جُلُوسٍ لِغَيْرِ عُذْرٍ وَتَنْصِيفِ أَجْرِهِ لِغَيْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَليهِ وسَلمَChapter on the Permissibility of Voluntary Prayer While Sitting Without Excuse and Halving Its Reward for Others Than the Prophet
Hadith 2432
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَحَدَّثَتْنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((صَلَاةُ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ))
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'ib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I went to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and she related to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The prayer of the one who prays sitting is half of the prayer of the one who prays standing.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In these blessed ahadith, the distinction between performing prayer standing and sitting is being clarified in and of itself; otherwise, a person who is accustomed to performing prayer standing, and due to some excuse is compelled to perform it sitting, will still be deserving of the complete reward, as is evident from other ahadith. And Allah knows best.
