English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن عمرو السهمي
Abdullah bin Amr said: It has been narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Prayer of a man in sitting condition is half the prayer (wins him half the reward of prayer). I came to him and found him prayer in sitting condition. I placed my hand on my head (in surprise). He said: what is the matter, Abdullah bin Amr? I said; Messenger of Allah ﷺ you have been reported to me as saying: the prayer of a man in sitting condition is half the prayer, but you are praying in sitting condition. He said: yes, but I am not like one of you.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَسَافٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "
صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ قَاعِدًا نِصْفُ الصَّلَاةِ
" فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا ، فَوَضَعْتُ يَدَيَّ عَلَى رَأْسِي ، فَقَالَ : " مَا لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : حُدِّثْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ : " صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ قَاعِدًا نِصْفُ الصَّلَاةِ " ، وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا ، قَالَ : " أَجَلْ وَلَكِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ " .
