عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ: كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلَا فِي غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا، فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثًا، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ، عَيْنَايَ تَنَامَانِ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي
Translation
✧ He asked 'A'ishah: How was the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Ramadan? She said: The Prophet ﷺ did not exceed eleven rak'ahs in Ramadan or at any other time. He would pray four rak'ahs – do not ask about their beauty and length – then pray four rak'ahs – do not ask about their beauty and length – then pray three. 'A'ishah said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you sleep before performing witr?' He said, 'O 'A'ishah, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.'
