Hadith 24258
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : " مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَبِرَ ، قَرَأَ جَالِسًا ، حَتَّى إِذَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّورَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ أَوْ أَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً ، قَامَ فَقَرَأَهُنَّ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I never saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the night prayer while sitting. However, when the blessed body of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became heavy, he would perform as much prayer as Allah willed while sitting, and when thirty or forty verses of the surah remained, he would stand up, recite them, and then go into prostration.
