وَعَنْهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي وِتْرٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ لَمْ يَنْهَضْ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ قَاعِدًا
He said that he saw the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) praying, and when he had prayed an odd number of rakas he did not stand up till after he had adopted a sitting position.
