باب ما جاء فى عبادة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the worship of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
The Prophet’s manner of worship
Hadith 263
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّيْلِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: «كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ، فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ أَوْتَرَ، ثُمَّ أَتَى فِرَاشَهُ، فَإِذَا كَانَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ أَلَمَّ بِأَهْلِهِ، فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ وَثَبَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ جُنُبًا أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، وَإِلَّا تَوَضَّأَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ»
It is narrated from Aswad bin Yazid, he says: I asked Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) about the night worship of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sleep in the early part of the night. Then he would get up and stand (in prayer) and take suhoor, and near the time of suhoor he would perform witr, then he would return to his bed, and if there was a need, he would go to his family, then when he heard the (morning) adhan, he would get up quickly, and if he was in a state of janabah, he would pour water over his body, otherwise he would perform wudu and go for prayer.
