أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ
«مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي سُبْحَتِهِ جَالِسًا قَطُّ حَتَّى كَانَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ بِعَامٍ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي سُبْحَتِهِ جَالِسًا فَيَقْرَأُ السُّورَةَ فَيُرَتِّلُهَا حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا»

✧ “I never saw the Prophet ﷺ pray sitting in his supererogatory prayer at all, until a year before his death. Then he would pray sitting in his supererogatory prayer, and he would recite a sūrah in such a slow measured way that it would become longer than a longer one.”
