أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ سَجَّادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ قَاعِدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَلِّ قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ»

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
هو حديث لم يروه إلا حسين المعلم وهو حسين بن ذكوان عن عبد الله بن بريدة عن عمران بن حصين وقد اختلف أيضا على حسين المعلم في إسناده ولفظه اختلافا يوجب التوقف عنه وإن صح حديث حسين عن ابن بريدة عن عمران بن حصين هذا فلا أدري ما وجهه
machine translationThis is a hadith that only Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim narrated, who is Ḥusayn b. Dhakwān, from ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah, from ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn. There is also disagreement about Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim concerning its chain and its wording, a disagreement that requires withholding judgement on it. And if the hadith of Ḥusayn from Ibn Buraydah from ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn is authentic, then I do not know what its explanation is.
in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 2518 - ابن اللجام علي بن خلف القرطبي
قوله من صلى نائما فله نصف أجر القاعد فلا يصح معناه عند العلماء لأنهم مجمعون على أن النافلة لا يصليها القادر على القيام إيماء وإنما دخل الوهم على ناقل الحديث
machine translationAs for his statement, "Whoever prays lying down will have half the reward of the one who prays sitting," its meaning is not sound according to the scholars, because they are unanimously agreed that a person who is able to stand may not pray a voluntary prayer by gesturing. Rather, the error entered through the one who transmitted the hadith.
