Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَابْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ و حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَابْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ سَمِعْتُ أَهْلَ عَائِشَةَ يَذْكُرُونَ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَدِيدَ الْإِنْصَابِ لِجَسَدِهِ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ حِينَ دَخَلَ فِي السِّنِّ وَثَقُلَ مِنْ اللَّحْمِ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ مَا يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ.
