حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ : كُنْتُ رَجُلًا أَتَتَبَّعُ السُّلْطَانَ ، فَأَخَذَنِي أَبِي فَحَبَسَنِي - قَالَ مُبَارَكٌ : وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ : وَقَيَّدَنِي - فَقَالَ لِي : وَاللهِ لَا تَخْرُجُ حَتَّى تَسْتَظْهِرَ كِتَابَ اللهِ ، فَاسْتَظْهَرْتُ كِتَابَ اللهِ ، فَنَفَعَنِي اللهُ بِهِ ، فَذَهَبَتْ عَنِّي الدُّنْيَا ، وَجَعَلْتُ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ وَأَصْنَعُ ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : سَعْدُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، فَقَالَتْ : رَحِمَ اللهُ عَامِرًا أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا . قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَبَتَّلَ ، فَجِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا هِشَامُ ، لَا تَبَتَّلْ ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَالَ : لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - تَزَوَّجَ ، وَوُلِدَ لَهُ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، حَدِّثِينِي عَنْ خُلُقِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : يَا بُنَيَّ ، أَمَا تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ؟ قَالَ اللهُ : وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ ، خُلُقُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرْآنُ .
قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، حَدِّثِينِي عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : يَا بُنَيَّ ، وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ هَجَعَ هَجْعَةً ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَةً ، أَوْ قَالَتْ : فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَةً صَلَاةً بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ، وَإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ ، فَلَمَّا بَدَّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَكَثُرَ لَحْمُهُ ، صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَرَكْعَةً ، وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ .

It is narrated from Sa'd bin Hisham bin Amir (may Allah have mercy on him): I was (at first) a man who followed after the rulers, so my father seized me and confined me in the house. Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him) says: To the best of my knowledge he also said: He put me in shackles. And he said to me: "By Allah, you will not go out until you have memorised the Book of Allah." So I memorised the Book of Allah, and Allah benefited me through it. Then the desire for the world left my heart, and I began to dislike marrying and other worldly pursuits. Then I went to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said that I was Sa'd bin Hisham bin Amir. She said: "May Allah have mercy on Amir; he was martyred on the day of (the Battle of) Uhud." He says: I said: "O Mother of the Believers, I intend to cut myself off from the world and live a life of celibacy (abandoning marriage), so I have come to ask you about it." She said: "O Hisham, do not adopt monasticism, for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has said: 'There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example.' And indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married, and children were born to him." He says: I said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." She said: "O my dear son, do you not read the Qur'an? Allah Almighty has said: 'And indeed, you are of a great moral character.' So the character of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was the Qur'an." He says: I said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the (night) prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." She said: "O my son, who could possibly bear the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, he would first offer two rak'ahs, then rest for a little while, then wake up and pray two rak'ahs at a time five times (ten rak'ahs), and then pray one rak'ah (witr)." Or she said: "After Isha he would offer nine or eleven rak'ahs (the detail of which was that) he would pray two rak'ahs at a time four times and then one rak'ah (witr). Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) grew old and his body became heavy, he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed two rak'ahs at a time (four) and then one rak'ah (witr), and after that he offered two rak'ahs sitting."
