The reader: And Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: I read to Malik from Abdullah ibn Yazid and Abu al-Nadr from Abu Salama ibn Abd al-Rahman from Aisha:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray while sitting (when he grew old) and he recited in this position and when the recitation equal to thirty or forty verses was left, he would then stand up and recite (for this duration) in a standing position and then bowed himself and then prostrated himself and did the same in the second rak'ah.
أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم كان يصلي جالسا فيقرأ وهو جالس فإذا بقي من قراءته قدر ما يكون ثلاثين أو أربعين ءاية قام فقرأ وهو قائم ثم ركع ثم سجد ثم يفعل في الركعة الثانية مثل ذلك .
