1660. It was narrated that ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Amr said: “I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying sitting down and I said: ‘I was told that you said that the prayer of one who is sitting down is worth half of the prayer of one who is standing up.’ He said: ‘Yes indeed, but I am not like any one of you.’” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
1659 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا، فَقُلْتُ: حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: «إِنَّ صَلَاةَ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ»، وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا، قَالَ: «أَجَلْ، وَلَكِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ»

“I am not like anyone amongst you” means in the sitting posture also, it means I get the full reward, and this is a special station of the Prophet ﷺ.
