Sahih al-Bukhari 4630 (Book 65, Hadith 358)
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.
“ أَفَلاَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَكُونَ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا ”. فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ لَحْمُهُ صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ، فَقَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ.
