Imran ibn Husayn said: I asked the Messenger of Allah about a man praying while seated. He said: "Whoever prays standing, that is better; whoever prays seated has half the reward of one who prays standing; and whoever prays lying down has half the reward of one who prays seated." Reports on this topic are also narrated from Abdullah ibn Amr, Anas, al-Saib, and Ibn Umar. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Imran ibn Husayn is hasan sahih.
