حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَسَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ، فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ أَوْتَرَ، ثُمَّ أَتَى فِرَاشَهُ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ أَلَمَّ بِأَهْلِهِ، فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ وَثَبَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ جُنُبًا أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ، وَإِلَّا تَوَضَّأَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ.

✧ I asked Aishah about the night prayer of the Messenger of God ﷺ. She said: He would sleep at the beginning of the night, then get up. When it was the time before dawn, he would perform the witr, then come to his bed. If he had a need, he would go to his wife. When he heard the call to prayer, he would jump up. If he was in a state of major ritual impurity, he would pour water over himself; otherwise he would perform ablution, then go out to the prayer.
