Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا.
English Translation
Affan told us: Abu al-Ahwas told us: Abu Ishaq told us, from Abu Salamah b. Abd al-Rahman b. Awf, from Umm Salamah, Mother of the Believers, who said: "By the One who took his soul, he did not die until the greater part of his prayer was performed sitting, and the most beloved deeds to him were the righteous deeds which the servant continued to do, even if they were small."
