English narration

Narrated by عمران بن حصين الأزدي

(who had piles) I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the praying of a man while sitting. He said, "If he prays while standing it is better and he who prays while sitting gets half the reward of that who prays standing; and whoever prays while Lying gets half the reward of that who prays while sitting."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرَيْدَةَ ، قَالَ :حَدَّثَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ ، وَكَانَ مَبْسُورًا قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ قَاعِدًا ، فَقَالَ : "

إِنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ
