حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَاعِدِ فَقَالَ: " مَنْ صَلَّى قَائِمًا فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى قَاعِدًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى نَائِمًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَاعِدِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about performing prayer while sitting.
