وَقَالَ عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثَنَا وَاصِلٌ بِسَنَدِهِ وَلَفْظِهِ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَاكُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، فَإِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ: صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيْءٍ، وَلَا يَأْمُرُ بِشَيْءٍ، وَيُسَلِّمُ مِنْ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
