(36) بَابُ ذِكْرِ مَا كَانَ اللَّهُ- عَزَّ وَجَلَّ- فَرَّقَ بِهِ بَيْنَ نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَبَيْنَ أُمَّتِهِ فِي النَّوْمِ؛Chapter 36: What Allah distinguished between His Prophet and his nation regarding sleep
Hadith 49
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّدَفِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَنَّ مَالِكًا حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ : كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلا فِي غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا ، فَلا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلاثًا ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَتَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ ؟ فَقَالَ : " يَا عَائِشَةُ ، إِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ تَنَامَانِ وَلا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Salamah Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the manner of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) (tahajjud) prayer. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not perform more than eleven rak‘ahs in Ramadan or in any other month. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform four rak‘ahs—do not ask about their excellence and length. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform another four rak‘ahs—do not ask about their beauty and length. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform three rak‘ahs. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I asked, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), do you sleep before performing witr?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “O Aisha, indeed my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.” (It remains awake.)
