The wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), says: I never saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing prayer at night while sitting, until he became old. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite while sitting, and when he intended to bow (ruku‘), he would stand up and, after reciting thirty or forty verses, would perform ruku‘.
