حَدَّثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : " مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سُبْحَتِهِ قَاعِدًا حَتَّى كَانَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ بِعَامٍ ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي سُبْحَتِهِ قَاعِدًا ، وَيَقْرَأُ بِالسُّورَةِ وَيُرَتِّلُهَا حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا " . وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ حَفْصَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ نَبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ " يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا ، فَإِذَا بَقِيَ مِنْ قِرَاءَتِهِ قَدْرُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ صَنَعَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ " ، وَرُوِيَ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ " يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا ، فَإِذَا قَرَأَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ، رَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ، وَإِذَا قَرَأَ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ ، رَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ " . قَالَ أَحْمَدُ , وَإِسْحَاق : وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى كِلَا الْحَدِيثَيْنِ كَأَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَا كِلَا الْحَدِيثَيْنِ صَحِيحًا مَعْمُولًا بِهِمَا .
´Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet (S), narrated:` "I did not see Allah's Messenger (S) praying voluntary prayers sitting until the year before he died. Then he would perform Salat for the voluntary prayers sitting, and he would recite a Surah and prolong it such that it would be longer than the longest of them."

[الموطأ رواية يحييٰ بن يحييٰ 137/1، ح 307، ك 8، ب 7، ح 21، التمهيد 220/6، الاستذكار : 277 ● أخرجه مسلم فواد عبدالباقی ترقیم 733، دارالسلام ترقیم 1712، من حديث مالك به]
Jurisprudential Understanding (Tafaqquh):
➊ Hafiz Ibn Abd al-Barr said: «وَفِي اللُّغَةِ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ أَصْلُهَا الدُّعَاءُ لَكِنَّ الْأَسْمَاءَ الشَّرْعِيَّةَ أَوْلَى لِأَنَّهَا قَاضِيَةٌ عَلَى اللُّغَوِيَّةِ» In language, the original meaning of salah (prayer) is supplication (du'a), but the legal (shar'i) names are preferable, because they take precedence over the linguistic names. [التمهيد 221/6]
➋ It is preferable to perform voluntary (nafl) prayers standing, and deliberately performing voluntary prayers sitting without any legal excuse is not appropriate.
➌ The recitation of the Noble Qur'an should be done slowly, in a good manner, and with reflection and contemplation.
➍ The standing (qiyam) in voluntary prayers should be as long as possible.
➎ It is recommended to recite much of the Noble Qur'an in voluntary prayers.
➏ If there is a legal (shar'i) excuse, it is permissible to perform the prayer sitting.
➐ Performing the prayer sitting earns half the reward, but the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would receive the full reward even when he performed the prayer sitting.
