What did the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) do when he recited the Quran during the night prayer?
 'A'isha reported:                      I did not see the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) reciting (the Qur'an) in the night prayer in a sitting position, till he grew old and then he recited (it) in a sitting position, but when thirty or forty verses were left out of the Surah, he would then stand up, recite them and then bowed.
