أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ كَمْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً «يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثًا»

✧ I asked Aisha: How was the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never used to exceed eleven rak'ahs in Ramadan or at any other time. He would pray four rak'ahs—do not ask about their excellence and length—then pray four more—do not ask about their excellence and length—then pray three.
