Abdullah bin Amr said: It has been narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The Prayer of a man in sitting condition is half the prayer (wins him half the reward of prayer). I came to him and found him prayer in sitting condition. I placed my hand on my head (in surprise). He said: what is the matter, Abdullah bin Amr? I said; Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم you have been reported to me as saying: the prayer of a man in sitting condition is half the prayer, but you are praying in sitting condition. He said: yes, but I am not like one of you.

Abdullah bin Buraidah said: Imran bin Hussain asked the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم about the prayer a man offers in sitting condition. He replied: his prayer in standing condition is better than his prayer in sitting condition, and his prayer in sitting condition is half the prayer he offers in standing condition, and his prayer in lying condition is half the prayer he offers in sitting condition.

Imran bin Husain said: I had a fistula; so I asked the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . He said: offer prayer in standing condition; if you are unable to do so, then in sitting condition: if you are then at your side (i. e, in lying condition).
