Musnad of Aishah
Musnad Abi Ya'la 4877 — she was asked about the prayer of the Prophet
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا سُئِلَتْ عَنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ ، فَقَرَأَ ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً ، أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً ، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she was asked about the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and she said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer (voluntary) prayer sitting; then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to bow (ruku'), he would stand up and recite (approximately) thirty or forty verses, and after that he would bow and prostrate."
