Hadith text
Narrated Aisha:The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer prayer at night (for such a long time) that his feet used to crack. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why do you do it since Allah has forgiven you your faults of the past and those to follow?" He said, "Shouldn't I love to be a thankful slave (of Allah)?' When he became old, he prayed while sitting, but if he wanted to perform a bowing, he would get up, recite (some other verses) and then perform the bowing
Aisha bataati hain: Nabi (SAW) raat ko itni der tak namaz padhte ke unke pair phat jaate. Maine kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Aap aisa kyun karte hain jabke Allah ne aapke agle-pichhle sab gunaah maaf kar diye hain?' Unhone farmaya, 'To kya mujhe Allah ka shukr-guzaar banda na banna chaahiye?' Jab wo budhe ho gaye, to baithkar namaz padhte, magar jab ruku karna hota to khade hokar (kuch Aayaten) padhte, phir ruku karte.
