( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ:
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَسَأَلَهَا، عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ صَلَّى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، وَتَرَكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قُبِضَ حِينَ قُبِضَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ؛ آخِرُ صَلَاتِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ الْوِتْرُ

That he entered upon ʿĀʾishah (may God be pleased with her) and asked her about the night prayer of the Messenger of God ﷺ. She said: "He used to pray thirteen rak'ahs during the night. Then he prayed eleven rak'ahs and left off two. Then he was taken, when he was taken, while he was praying nine rak'ahs during the night; the last of his night prayer was the witr."
