Those Who Consider Praying While Sitting Without Excuse as Disliked

Hazrat Umm Salamah, Mother of the Believers, says that the blessed person who departed from this world (i.e., the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him), most of his prayers before his passing were performed while sitting.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Shaqiq says that I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) whether the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer prayers while sitting. She replied, "Yes, when he became advanced in age."

Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform prayers while sitting before his passing.
