Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ خَرَجَ فَرَأَى أُنَاسًا يُصَلُّونَ قُعُودًا فَقَالَ " صَلاَةُ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْقَائِمِ " .
Translation
Nasr bin Ali Al-Jahdami narrated to us: Bishr bin Umar narrated to us: Abdullah bin Jafar narrated to us: Ismail bin Muhammad bin Sad narrated to me, from Anas bin Malik, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out and saw some people praying seated. He said: The prayer of one who prays seated is half of the prayer of one who prays standing.
