Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 8959 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray the Isha

حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ التِّنِّيسِيُّ ، ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ .
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الْعَتَمَةَ ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ سَبْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ، يُسَلِّمُ فِي الْأَرْبَعِ فِي كُلِّ اثْنَيْنِ وَيُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ ، يَتَشَهَّدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الْوِتْرِ تَشَهُّدَهُ فِي التَّسْلِيمِ ، وَيُوتِرُ بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ ، فَإِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَرْقُدُ ، فَإِذَا انْتَبَهَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ ، قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَنَامَنِي فِي عَافِيَةٍ ، وَأَيْقَظَنِي فِي عَافِيَةٍ ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَتَفَكَّرُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذَا بَاطِلا سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ فَيَقْرَأُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ : إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُطِيلُ فِيهِمَا الْقِرَاءَةَ وَالرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ ، وَيُكْثِرُ فِيهِمَا الدُّعَاءَ ، حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَرْقُدُ وَأَسْتَيْقِظُ ، ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَضْطَجِعُ فَيُغْفِي ، ثُمَّ يَتَضَوَّرُ ، ثُمَّ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِمِثْلِ مَا تَكَلَّمَ فِي الْأُوَلِ ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ هُمَا أَطْوَلُ مِنَ الْأُولَيَيْنِ ، وَهُوَ فِيهِمَا أَشَدُّ تَضَرُّعًا وَاسْتِغْفَارًا ، حَتَّى أَقُولَ : هَلْ هُوَ مُنْصَرِفٌ ؟ وَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيُغْفِي قَلِيلًا فَأَقُولُ : هَذَا غَفَى أَمْ لَا ؟ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ ، فَيَقُولُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ فِي الْأُولَى ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فَيَدْعُو بِالسِّوَاكِ فَيَسْتَنُّ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ ، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ صَلَاتُهُ ثَلَاثَ عَشَرَ رَكْعَةً .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَّا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ .
The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray the Isha prayer, then, before returning to his house, he would pray seven rak'ahs in the mosque: in four rak'ahs he would say the salam after every two rak'ahs, and he would pray three rak'ahs of witr; in the first two rak'ahs of the witr he would sit for the tashahhud just as one sits in a prayer that ends with the salam, and in the witr he would recite the Mu'awwidhat. Then when he returned to his house, he would pray two rak'ahs and go to sleep. When he woke from his sleep he would say: 'Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi anamani fi 'afiyah, wa ayqazani fi 'afiyah' (All praise is for Allah, who made me sleep in well-being and woke me in well-being). Then he would raise his head towards the sky and reflect, then recite this verse: "Our Lord, You have not created this in vain; glory be to You, so protect us from the punishment of the Fire," and he would keep reciting until he reached: "Indeed, You do not break the promise." Then he would perform ablution, then stand and pray two rak'ahs in which he would lengthen the recitation, the bowing and the prostration, and he would supplicate a great deal in them, so much so that I would fall asleep and then wake up again. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would finish the prayer, lie down and doze lightly, then turn over, then say the same as he had said the first time. Then he would stand and pray two rak'ahs that were longer than the first two, and in them he (peace and blessings be upon him) would be more intense in humility, beseeching and seeking forgiveness, so much so that I would say: "Is he (peace and blessings be upon him) going to finish the prayer now?" And this would continue until the end of the night. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would finish and doze for a little while, and I would say: "Has he (peace and blessings be upon him) slept or not?" until the mu'adhdhin came to him (peace and blessings be upon him); then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite the same supplication that he had recited the first time, then sit up and ask for the miswak, use the miswak and perform ablution, then pray two light rak'ahs, then go out for the prayer. Thus this prayer of his (peace and blessings be upon him) was thirteen rak'ahs.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ayyash bin Abbas except Ibn Lahi'ah."
