Sahih muslim:730d Chapter: The travelers’ prayer and shortening it Book 6, Hadith 132

‘Abdullah b. Shaqiq al-‘Uqaili reported: I asked ‘A’isha about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the night (i. e. Tahajjud prayer) She replied: He used to pray for a long time standing and for a long time sitting in the night, and when he recited the Qur’an while standing, he would bow himself from the standing position, and when he recited while sitting, he would bow from the sitting position.
