عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوقِظُ أَهْلَهُ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ: نِسَاءَهُ) فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ

. (Second chain) When the last ten days of Ramadan began, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would keep his family awake and tighten his waistcloth. Someone asked Abu Bakr bin Ayyash: What is the meaning of "tightening the waistcloth"? He said: Separation from wives.
