Hadith 2635

أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حُرَّةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّيْلِ ، فَقَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ تَجَوَّزَ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ طَهُورُهُ وَسِوَاكُهُ ، فَيَقُومُ فَيَتَسَوَّكُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي ، وَيَتَجَوَّزُ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ يُسَوِّي بَيْنَهُنَّ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ ، ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ بِالتَّاسِعَةِ ، وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ، فَلَمَّا أَسَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَخَذَ اللَّحْمُ ، جَعَلَ الثَّمَانَ سِتًّا ، وَيُوتِرُ بِالسَّابِعَةِ ، وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا : قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ " أَبُو حُرَّةَ اسْمُهُ وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ .
Sa’d bin Hisham narrates: He asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the night voluntary prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): So Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) informed: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the ‘Isha prayer, he would offer two short rak’ahs, then he would sleep. The water for his ablution and his miswak would be placed near his head. Then he would wake up, use the miswak, perform ablution, and offer prayer, two short rak’ahs. Then he would stand and offer eight rak’ahs in which he would recite an equal amount in each. Then he would make them odd by performing witr with the ninth rak’ah. Then he would sit and offer two rak’ahs. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became older and his body became heavier, he reduced the eight rak’ahs to six and would perform witr with the seventh rak’ah. Then he would sit and offer two rak’ahs in which he would recite Surah Al-Kafiroon and Surah Az-Zalzalah.
