حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ. وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ. وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ ‏"‏ .

English translation
It was narrated from ‘Imran bin Husain that he asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about a man who prays sitting down. He said, “Whoever performs prayer standing up, that is better. Whoever performs prayer sitting down will have half the reward of one who prays standing. And whoever performs prayer lying down will have half the reward of one who prays sitting.”

। ইমরান ইবনু হুসাইন (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। যে ব্যক্তি বসে সালাত (নামায/নামাজ) পড়ে তার সম্পর্কে তিনি সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে জিজ্ঞেস করেন। তিনি বলেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি দাঁড়িয়ে সালাত পড়ে সে অধিক উত্তম। আর যে ব্যক্তি বসে সালাত পড়ে তার সওয়াব দাঁড়িয়ে সালাত আদায়কারীর অর্ধেক। আর যে ব্যক্তি শোয়া অবস্থায় সালাত পড়ে তার সওয়াব বসা অবস্থায় সালাত আদায়কারির অর্ধেক।
