English Translation

Abdullah b. Shaqiq al-'Uqaili reported that I asked Hadrat 'A'isha about the prayer of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) during the night (i. e. Tahajjud prayer) She replied: He used to pray for a long time standing and for a long time sitting in the night, and when he recited the Qur'an while standing, he would bow himself from the standing position, and when he recited while sitting, he would bow from the sitting position
