Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ وَالَّذِي تَوَفَّى نَفْسَهُ مَا مَاتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى كَانَتْ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ قَاعِدًا إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا.
English Translation
Narrated to us by Husayn ibn Muhammad, who said: Isra'il narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Salamah, from Umm Salamah, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: "I said - by the One who took his soul - the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not die until most of his prayer was performed sitting, except the obligatory prayer, and the deed most beloved to him was that which a servant maintained continuously, even if it was little."
