Chapter 18 What is done when one begins the prayer standing and mentioning the differences with those who reported from 'Aisha concerning it
باب كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ قَائِمًا وَذِكْرِ اخْتِلاَفِ النَّاقِلِينَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي ذَلِكَ

It was narrated that Aishah said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite sitting, and when he wanted to bow he would stand up for as long as it takes a person to recite forty verses.”
أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ إِنْسَانٌ أَرْبَعِينَ آيَةً .
