English narration

Narrated by عمران بن حصين الأزدي

`Imran bin Husain had piles. Once Abu Ma mar narrated from `Imran bin Husain had said, "I asked the Prophet (p.b.u.h) about the prayer of a person while sitting. He said, 'It is better for one to pray standing; and whoever prays sitting gets half the reward of that who prays while standing; and whoever prays while Lying gets half the reward of that who prays while sitting.' "

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مَبْسُورًا ، وَقَالَ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ مَرَّةً ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ ، فَقَالَ : "

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

" ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ : نَائِمًا عِنْدِي مُضْطَجِعًا هَا هُنَا .
