Hadith 26114

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ , عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي مُوسَى , قَالَ أَحْمَدُ ابْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ وَهُوَ الصَّوَابُ , مَوْلَى لِبَنِي نَصْرِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ , قَالَ : قَالَتْ لِي عَائِشَةُ : " لَا تَدَعْ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ , فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ لَا يَدَعُهُ , وَكَانَ إِذَا مَرِضَ أَوْ كَسِلَ , صَلَّى قَاعِدًا " .
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Musa (and according to the more correct opinion, Abdullah bin Abi Qais), "who was a freed slave of Banu Nasr bin Muawiyah," that Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to me: Never abandon the night prayer (Qiyam al-Lail), because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never used to leave it. Even if he was ill or did not feel energetic, he would still recite it while sitting.
