Hadith 909

عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَرَأَيْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ فِي آخِرِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَرُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فِي آخِرِهِ، قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً، قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُوتِرُ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ فِي آخِرِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: رُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَرُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ فِي آخِرِهِ، قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً، قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَوْ يُخَافِتُ بِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: رُبَّمَا جَهَرَ بِهِ وَرُبَّمَا خَافَتَ، قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً
Ghudaif bin Harith says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (RA): What is your opinion regarding whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ghusl at the beginning of the night or at the end? She said: Sometimes the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform ghusl in the first part of the night and sometimes in the last part. I said: Allahu Akbar, all praise is due to Allah who has granted ease in this matter. Then I asked: What is your opinion regarding whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the Witr prayer in the first part of the night or the last part? She said: Sometimes the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the Witr prayer in the first part of the night and sometimes in the last part. I said: Allahu Akbar, all praise is due to Allah who has granted ease in this matter as well. Then I asked: What is your opinion regarding whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite the Qur’an aloud or silently? She said: Sometimes he (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite aloud and sometimes silently. I said: Allahu Akbar, all praise is due to Allah who has granted ease in this matter as well.
