Hafsa bint Umar bin Khattab reported,

I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform his voluntary prayers sitting down until a year before his death. After that, he would pray sitting, reciting a surah so slowly and deliberately that it would become longer than one that is longer than it.

Nasai 1659

عن حفصة قالت

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