English translation

953. It was reported from 'Urwah, from 'Āishah, that she said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recite sitting down in his night prayer until he became older. He would then sit down and recite until there would only be thirty or forty Verses left, then he would stand up and recite the rest, and go into prostration." (Sahih)

Arabic text

953 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا قَطُّ، حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي السِّنِّ، فَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ فِيهَا فَيَقْرَأُ، حَتَّى إِذَا بَقِيَ أَرْبَعُونَ أَوْ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً، قَامَ فَقَرَأَهَا، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ»
