حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَخْبَرَنَاقَالَ سَمِعْتُ زُرَارَةَ بْنَ أَوْفَى يَقُولُ
سُئِلَتْ عَائِشَةُ، عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ، فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ وَعِنْدَهُ وَضُوءُهُ مُغَطًّى وَسِوَاكُهُ اسْتَاكَ، ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ، يَقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَمَا شَاءَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: مَا شَاءَ اللهُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَا يَقْعُدُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا فِي الثَّامِنَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَقْعُدُ فِيهَا فَيَتَشَهَّدُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ فَيُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فَيَتَشَهَّدُ وَيَدْعُو، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ حَتَّى يُوقِظَنَا، ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَيَقْرَأُ، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَيُصَلِّي جَالِسًا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَهَذِهِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً. فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ لَحْمُهُ وَثَقُلَ جَعَلَ التِّسْعَ سَبْعًا لَا يَقْعُدُ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقْعُدُ فِي الْأُولَى، وَيُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَاعِدًا، فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللهُ.

✧ 'A'ishah was asked about the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: 'He would pray 'Isha', then he would pray two rak'ahs after it, then he would sleep. When he woke up, and his ablution water and tooth-stick were covered, he would use the tooth-stick, then perform ablution, then stand and pray eight rak'ahs. In them he would recite the Opening of the Book and whatever he wished from the Qur'an.' One time she said: 'Whatever Allah willed from the Qur'an. He would not sit in any of them except in the eighth, for he would sit in it and recite the tashahhud, then he would stand without saying the salam and pray one rak'ah. Then he would sit and recite the tashahhud and make supplication, then he would say one salam: "Peace be upon you," raising his voice with it until he woke us. Then he would say the takbir while sitting and recite, then he would bow and prostrate while sitting, and he would pray two rak'ahs sitting. So that is eleven rak'ahs.' When he gained weight and became heavy, he made the nine into seven, not sitting except as he sat in the first, and he would pray the two rak'ahs sitting. That was the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until Allah took him.
