Sunan an-Nasai 1718 (Book 20, Hadith 121) #16329
The Prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed seven rak'ahs and two rak'ahs while sitting, and he liked to persist in doing so.

Shu'bah narrated from Qatadah, from Zurarah Bin Awfa, from Sa'd bin Hisham, that: Aishah said: "When the Messenger of Allah grew old and put on weight, he prayed seven rak'ahs and only sat in the last of them, and he prayed two rak'ahs while sitting after saying the taslim, and that was nine, O my son! And when the Messenger of Allah offered any prayer he liked to persist in doing so".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا أَسَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَخَذَ اللَّحْمَ صَلَّى سَبْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ لاَ يَقْعُدُ إِلاَّ فِي آخِرِهِنَّ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ بَعْدَ مَا يُسَلِّمُ فَتِلْكَ تِسْعٌ يَا بُنَىَّ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلاَةً أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُدَاوِمَ عَلَيْهَا ‏.‏ مُخْتَصَرٌ ‏.‏ خَالَفَهُ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It states that when he grew old and put on weight, he would pray seven rak’ahs and only sit in the last one. He also prayed two rak’ahs while sitting after saying taslim which made it nine in total. This shows us that even though the Prophet was getting older, he still kept up with his prayers and persisted in doing so despite any difficulties or changes that may have come with age. This teaches us to be persistent in our worship of Allah no matter what our circumstances are like or how difficult it may seem at times. We should strive to keep up with our religious obligations as much as we can even if they become more challenging over time due to age or other factors.
