وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ تُصَلِّي اَلنَّوَافِلَ وَ أَنْتَ قَاعِدٌ فَقَالَ« مَا أُصَلِّيهَا إِلاَّ وَ أَنَا قَاعِدٌ مُنْذُ حَمَلْتُ هَذَا اَللَّحْمَ وَ بَلَغْتُ هَذَا اَلسِّنَّ»
And from him, from Ali, from his father, from Hanan ibn Sadir, from his father, who said:
I said to Abu Ja’far عليه السلام: “Do you pray the supererogatory prayers while seated?” Imam عليه السلام said: "I have not performed them except while sitting since I carried this flesh and reached this age."
