English Translation

It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when asked about a man who prayed sitting due to illness, she said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray standing for a long part of the night and sitting for another long part. When he recited while standing, he would bow while standing; and when he recited while sitting, he would bow while sitting."
