Hadith 25940
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : " مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي السِّنِّ , فَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ فَيَقْرَأُ , حَتَّى إِذَا غَبَرَ مِنَ السُّورَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ أَوْ أَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً قَامَ , فَقَرَأَ بِهَا , 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, but when the blessed body of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became heavy, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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 bowing (ruku).
