أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ
أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَتْ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلَا فِي غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةِ رَكْعَةً يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ؟ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ عَيْنِيَّ تَنَامَانِ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي»

✧ That he informed him that he asked A'ishah, the Mother of the Believers, how the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in Ramadan. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never exceeded eleven rak'ahs in Ramadan or at any other time. He would pray four, and do not ask about their beauty and length, then pray four, and do not ask about their beauty and length, then pray three. A'ishah said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you sleep before you pray Witr?" He said: "O A'ishah, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep."
