أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا فَقُلْتُ حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ إِنَّ صَلَاةَ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا قَالَ «أَجَلْ وَلَكِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ»

✧ I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying seated, so I said, 'I was told that you said the prayer of the one who is seated is half of the prayer of the one standing, and yet you pray seated.' He said, 'Indeed, but I am not like any of you.'
