بَابُ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْوِتْرِChapter on the Prophet's prayer in Witr
Hadith 262
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلَا فِي غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً ، يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثًا ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَتَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ ؟ فَقَالَ : " يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ تَنَامَانِ وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي "
It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman bin Awf that he asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Ramadan. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Whether in Ramadan or outside of Ramadan, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray more than eleven rak‘ahs. He would pray four rak‘ahs—do not ask about their excellence and length—then he would pray another four rak‘ahs—do not ask about their excellence and length. Then he would pray three rak‘ahs. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), do you sleep before praying Witr? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “O Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.”
