After 29 nights had passed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came down. Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! You stayed for 29 nights (whereas you had intended a month).

After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What happened regarding the task for which I sent you?" I did not reply because I was praying at that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was facing towards the east.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Prophets were presented to me.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) glanced at us from the corner of his eye and saw that we were standing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured towards us, so we also began to pray sitting, and completed the rest of the prayer in this manner. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was just about that you would have started doing as the people of Persia and Rome do. They also stand before their kings while the kings remain seated. Do not do so; rather, follow your imams. If they pray standing, then you should also pray standing. If they pray sitting, then you should also pray sitting."
