حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا قَطُّ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي السِّنِّ فَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ فِيهَا فَيَقْرَأُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَقِيَ أَرْبَعُونَ أَوْ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ سَجَدَ
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam bin 'Urwah] dari ['Urwah] dari [Aisyah] dia berkata; "Aku tidak pernah melihat sama sekali Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam membaca dalam shalat malam sambil duduk sehingga beliau memasuki usia lanjut, di masa itu, barulah beliau membaca sambil duduk, apabila ayat yang belum di baca tinggal sekitar empat puluh atau tiga puluh ayat, beliau membacanya sambil berdiri kemudian sujud."
