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).
