حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثًا، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ ؟ قَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّهُ - أَوْ إِنِّي - تَنَامُ عَيْنَايَ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي.

✧ I asked Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Ramadan. She said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pray more than 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 more rak'ahs—do not ask about their beauty and length—then pray three.' She said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you sleep before you pray witr?' He said, 'O Aishah, my eyes sleep, but my heart does not sleep.'
