حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ ـ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً مَبْسُورًا ـ وَقَالَ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ مَرَّةً عَنْ عِمْرَانَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ صَلاَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَهْوَ قَاعِدٌ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهْوَ أَفْضَلُ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ ‏"‏. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ نَائِمًا عِنْدِي مُضْطَجِعًا هَا هُنَا.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘ইমরান ইবনু হুসায়ন (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি অর্শরোগী ছিলেন, তিনি বলেন, আমি আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে বসে সালাত আদায়কারী ব্যক্তি সম্পর্কে প্রশ্ন করলাম। তিনি বললেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি দাঁড়িয়ে সালাত আদায় করল সে উত্তম আর যে ব্যক্তি বসে সালাত আদায় করল তার জন্য দাঁড়ান ব্যক্তির অর্ধেক সওয়াব আর যে শুয়ে সালাত আদায় করল, তার জন্য বসে সালাত আদায়কারীর অর্ধেক সওয়াব। আবূ ‘আবদুল্লাহ (রহ.) বলেন, আমার মতে এ হাদীসে نَائِمًا (ঘুমন্ত) এর দ্বারা مُضْطَجِعًا (শায়িত) অবস্থা বুঝানো হয়েছে। (১১১৫) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১০৪৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
