(وَعَنْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ): قَالَتْ: كَانَ يَخْلِطُ فِي الْعِشْرِينَ الْأُولَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَوْمٍ وَصَلَاةٍ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْعَشْرُ جَدَّ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ
(Second chain) Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that during the first twenty days of Ramadan, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sleep at night as well as pray, but when the last ten days began, he would exert himself greatly in worship and tighten his waistcloth.
