Musnad Abi Ya'la 4612 — she said: I spent the night at the house
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ الْمَاجِشُونِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ رُمَيْثَةَ ، قَالَتْ : أَصْبَحْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا ، قَامَتْ فَاغْتَسَلَتْ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ بَيْتًا لَهَا ، وَأَجَافَتِ الْبَابَ دُونِي ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، مَا أَصْبَحْتُ عِنْدَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ ، قَالَتْ : فَادْخُلِي ، فَدَخَلْتُ ، فَصَلَّتْ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ ، لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُنَّ أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعُهُنَّ أَمْ سُجُودُهُنَّ ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيَّ ، فَضَرَبَتْ فَخِذِي ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : يَا رُمَيْثَةُ ، رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُصَلِّيهِنَّ ، وَلَوْ نُشِرَ لِي أَبِي عَلَى تَرْكِهِنَّ مَا تَرَكْتُهُنَّ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Rumaythah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "I spent the night at the house of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). When morning came, she rose and took a bath, then entered one of her rooms and closed the door, keeping me out. I said: O Mother of the Believers, I stayed with you until morning only for the sake of (witnessing) this hour (of worship). She said: 'Then come in as well.' So I went in, and she prayed eight rak'ahs. I cannot say whether their standing was longer, or their bowing, or their prostrations (that is, all their parts were very long and balanced). Then she turned towards me, struck my thigh with her hand and said: 'O Rumaythah, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying this prayer, and if my father were raised (from the grave) and brought back to life for me in exchange for my leaving these rak'ahs, I would never leave them.'"
