حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ أَخْب
َرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا حَتَّى إِذَا كَبِرَ قَرَأَ جَالِسًا حَتَّى إِذَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ السُّورَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ أَوْ أَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَهُنَّ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: 'I never saw the Prophet ﷺ recite anything during his night prayer while seated — until he became old, when he would recite seated. When thirty or forty verses of the surah remained, he would stand and recite them, then bow.'
