باب صِفَةِ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:Chapter: Description of the Prophet’s prayer
Hadith 1512
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "يُصَلِّي مَا بَيْنَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُسَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ، وَيَسْجُدُ فِي سُبْحَتِهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنْ الْأَذَانِ الْأَوَّلِ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، فَيَخْرُجَ مَعَهُ".
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray eleven rak‘ahs between ‘Isha and Fajr. He would say salam after every two rak‘ahs and pray one rak‘ah as Witr. In this prayer of Tahajjud, before raising his head, he (peace be upon him) would make such a long prostration that any one of you could recite fifty verses (of the Qur’an) in that time. Then, when the muezzin finished the call to Fajr prayer, he (peace be upon him) would pray two light rak‘ahs and lie on his (right) side until the muezzin would come to him and he would go out with him.
