Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to mix with us so much that he would say to my younger brother, "O Abu Umair! What happened to your little bird?" When the time for prayer came, we spread our mat for the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer on it and we prayed behind him. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that "the time for prayer had come" means that it was the time for a voluntary (nafl) prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would not perform the obligatory prayer in congregation at the house of any Ansari except in the mosque where congregational prayer was held.

Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Near the end of his life, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to perform most of his prayers while sitting. The most beloved deed to him was that which a servant does regularly, even if it is little.

Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I never saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performing voluntary prayers while sitting, until one year before his passing, the Prophet (peace be upon him) began to perform voluntary prayers while sitting. If he recited any Surah, he would recite it slowly and distinctly, so much so that it would seem longer than a Surah greater than it.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) became advanced in age, he used to perform voluntary prayers while sitting. When about thirty verses of a surah remained, he would stand up and recite them, then go into bowing (ruku).

Abdullah bin Shaqiq narrates about Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I asked her about the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). She said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to perform long prayers at night while sitting and also used to perform long prayers while standing. When he performed prayer sitting, he would go into bowing (ruku) from the sitting position, and when he performed prayer standing, he would go into bowing from the standing position.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to perform prayer both standing and sitting. When he started the prayer standing, he would go into bowing (ruku) from the standing position, and when he performed the prayer sitting, he would go into bowing while sitting.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform prayer sitting on all fours.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about performing prayer while sitting. So he (the Prophet) said: Perform the prayer standing, this is more virtuous. Whoever performs the prayer sitting receives half the reward of the one who performs it standing, and whoever performs the prayer lying down receives half the reward of the one who performs it sitting. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) In its chain, the person was mistaken who does not have expertise in the knowledge of hadith. Whoever does not have understanding of authentic narrations is of the opinion that there is a break in its chain, that its chain is not connected. However, this is not the case, because Abdullah bin Buraidah was born in the third year of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). This was in the year fifteen Hijri. He and his brother Sulaiman bin Buraidah were born close together. When the tribulation occurred in Madinah before the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), Buraidah left Madinah with his children. He settled in Basrah. At that time, Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) were present there. So Buraidah heard hadith from both of them. Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in the fifty-second year of Hijri during the rule of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Buraidah left there with his sons and went to Sijistan. And he stayed there for a long time as a warrior. Then he left there and went to Marw, which is on the way to Iraq. He went there and made it his homeland. Sulaiman bin Buraidah passed away in Marw. At that time, he was also the judge there, and this was in the year one hundred and five Hijri. This will guide you to the fact that Abdullah bin Buraidah heard hadith from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him).

Miqdam bin Shurayh narrates from his father regarding Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), (his father says): I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would come to you, what would he do first, and when he would leave from you, what would he do? Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the house, the first thing he would do was use the miswak, and when he would leave, he would perform two units of voluntary prayer.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin __RA__ narrates: I saw the Prophet Muhammad __SAW__ performing prayer while riding a donkey, and at that time his face was towards Khaybar.
