The Value of Standing in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the prayer of one who sits down is equivalent to half of the prayer of one who stands.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Prophet passed by him when he was praying sitting down. He said: "The prayer of one who sits down is equivalent to half of the prayer of one who stands".
