371. 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain narrated: "I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about the Ṣalāt for a man who is sitting. He said: 'Whoever performs Ṣalāt while standing then that is more virtuous. And whoever performs Ṣalāt while sitting, then he gets half the reward of the one standing, and whoever performs Ṣalāt while lying down, then he gets half the reward of the one sitting.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, Anas, As-Sā'ib, [and Ibn 'Umar]. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.

٣٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ: «سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ،» وَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ، وَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَأَنَسٍ، وَالسَّائِبِ. حَدِيثُ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

In the view of majority, this Hadīth is about the voluntary prayer, which may be performed while sitting or lying on one side despite being able to stand, but the reward will be less.
