Sunan Abu Dawud 1348 — On The Night Prayer
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ بَهْزٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُرَارَةُ بْنُ أَوْفَى ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، أَنَّهَا سُئِلَتْ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : " كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ الْعِشَاءَ ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا ، ثُمَّ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ، ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ يُسَوِّي بَيْنَهُنَّ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ وَالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي التَّسْلِيمِ حَتَّى يُوقِظَنَا " .
Zurarah bin Awfa said that Aishah was asked about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: He used to lead the people in the 'Isha prayer and return to his family and pray four rak'ahs and go to his bed. The narrator then transmitted the tradition in full. This version does not mention the words: "During them (the rak'ahs) he equated all the recitation of the Quran, bowing and recitation. " This also does not mention the words about the salutation: "Till he almost awakened us. "
