Sahih Muslim 732d (Book 6, Hadith 141) #8866
Praying While Sitting

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to pray while sitting when he became bulky and heavy.

'A'isha reported: When the Messenger of Allah grew bulky and heavy he would observe (most of his Nafl) prayers sitting.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَحَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا بَدَّنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَثَقُلَ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلاَتِهِ جَالِسًا

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'A'isha tells us that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to observe most of his nafl prayers while sitting when he became bulky and heavy. This teaches us that even if we are not able to stand for prayer due to physical limitations, we can still perform our prayers in a different way. We should not be discouraged from performing our religious duties just because of physical limitations or any other reason. We should always strive to do what is best for us and seek guidance from Allah SWT in all matters of life.

The Prophet Muhammad's example shows us that it is permissible to pray while sitting if one cannot stand due to physical limitations or any other reason. It also teaches us the importance of perseverance and dedication towards fulfilling our religious obligations despite any difficulties we may face in doing so. Furthermore, it reminds us that Allah SWT knows best about what is good for His servants and He will guide them accordingly if they seek His help with sincerity and faithfulness.
