حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ أَبُو قِرْصَافَةَ الْعَسْقَلانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ نَافِعٍ الأُرْسُوفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ ، عَنْ هِلالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "صَلاةُ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلاةِ الْقَائِمِ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ رَوْحٍ ، إِلا مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، وَلا عَنْ مُوسَى ، إِلا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ ، وَلا عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، إِلا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَبُو قِرْصَافَةَ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The reward for offering prayer while sitting is half of that of offering it while standing."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
950. Commentary:
➊ It was a special characteristic of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that when he performed voluntary (nafl) prayers while sitting, he would receive the full reward. The noble Companions radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in used to think that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was bound by the religious rulings in the same way as the rest of the ummah. «آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ» [البقره۔ 285]
However, wherever his special characteristics have been mentioned, there is an exception.
➋ If a person performs voluntary prayer (nafl salah) while sitting without a valid excuse, he receives half the reward.

Benefit:
This applies in the case when one performs the prayer sitting without any valid excuse, such as some people who, after the obligatory prayers, perform two voluntary (nafl) prayers sitting without any excuse.
