It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) went out and saw some people praying while sitting down. He said:`“The prayer of one who sits down is equivalent to half of the prayer of one who stands.”

It was narrated from ‘Imran bin Husain that he asked the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about a man who prays sitting down. He said,“Whoever performs prayer standing up, that is better. Whoever performs prayer sitting down will have half the reward of one who prays standing. And whoever performs prayer lying down will have half the reward of one who prays sitting.”
