أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ
مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي سُبْحَتَهُ قَاعِدًا قَطُّ حَتَّى كَانَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ بِعَامٍ فَكَانَ «يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا وَيُقْرَأُ بِالسُّورَةِ فَيُرَتِّلُهَا حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْ أَطْوَلِ مِنْهَا»

✧ I never saw the Messenger of God ﷺ pray sitting in his voluntary prayer at all, until a year before his death. Then he used to pray sitting and recite a surah, reciting it slowly, until it became longer than the longest of them.
