Hafsa bint Umar bin Khattab reported,

I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform his voluntary prayers sitting until the year before his death. After that, he would pray his voluntary prayers sitting, and he would recite the surah slowly and measuredly, so that it became longer than one even longer than it.

Muslim 1712

Sahih

ما رأيت رسول الله ﷺ صلى في سبحته قاعدا حتى كان قبل وفاته بعام فكان يصلي في سبحته قاعدا وكان يقرأ بالسورة فيرتلها حتى تكون أطول من أطول منها
