English Translation

Abu Ahmad Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Zubayri, client of Banu Asad, told us: Sufyan told us, from Ayyub, from Muhammad, from Abdullah ibn Shaqiq, from A'ishah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray a long part of the night standing and a long part of the night sitting." I said, "How did he manage that?" She said, "When he recited standing, he would bow standing, and when he recited sitting, he would bow sitting."
