Sunan Ibn Majah 1230 (Book 5, Hadith 428) #30582
The Value of Standing in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that the prayer of one who stands is more valuable than the prayer of one who sits.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah went out and saw some people praying while sitting down. He said: "The prayer of one who sits down is equivalent to half of the prayer of one who stands".
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ خَرَجَ فَرَأَى أُنَاسًا يُصَلُّونَ قُعُودًا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ صَلاَةُ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْقَائِمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance and value of standing in prayer. It was narrated by Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah went out and saw some people praying while sitting down. He said that the prayer of one who sits down is equivalent to half of the prayer of one who stands. This means that when we pray, it is better to stand up rather than sit down as it has more value in Allah's eyes. We should strive to make our prayers meaningful and sincere by standing up for them whenever possible. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about humility and respect for Allah's commands; even if we are tired or weak, we should still try our best to stand up for our prayers as much as possible so that they can be accepted by Him.
