Arabic Text
قَالَ : فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ : " صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ جَالِسًا نِصْفُ الصَّلَاةِ "، وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي جَالِسًا؟ قَالَ : " أَجَلْ، وَلَكِنِّيلَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ "
English Translation
It was narrated that a man entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying seated. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have been told that you said the prayer of a man sitting is half the prayer, yet you are praying seated.' He said: 'Yes, but I am not like any of you.' (Meaning: the Prophet's sitting prayer counted fully due to his special status.)
