I asked ʿAisha which deed was most loved by the Prophet. She said, "A deed done continuously." I further asked, "When did he used to get up (in the night for the prayer)." She said, "He used to get up on hearing the crowing of a cock."  

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَىُّ الْعَمَلِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتِ الدَّائِمُ قُلْتُ مَتَى كَانَ يَقُومُ قَالَتْ يَقُومُ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ  

I asked ʿAisha "What deed was the most beloved to the Prophet?" She said, "The regular constant one." I said, "At what time did he use to get up at night (for the Tahajjud night prayer)?' She said, "He used to get up on hearing (the crowing of) the cock (the last third of the night).  

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَىُّ الْعَمَلِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتِ الدَّائِمُ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَىَّ حِينٍ كَانَ يَقُومُ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَقُومُ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ  

He (the Holy Prophet) loved (that action) which one keeps on doing regularly. I said (to 'A'isha): When did he pray (at night)? She replied: When he heard the cock crow, he got up and observed prayer.  

عَنْ عَمَلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الدَّائِمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَىَّ حِينٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ قَامَ فَصَلَّى  

"I said to 'Aishah: 'Which deed was most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' She said: 'That which was done persistently.' I said: 'At what part of the night did he pray Qiyam?' She said: 'When he heard the rooster.'"  

قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَىُّ الأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتِ الدَّائِمُ قُلْتُ فَأَىُّ اللَّيْلِ كَانَ يَقُومُ قَالَتْ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be impressed by consistent actions. I asked, "Which part of the night would he stand up (in prayer)?" She (his wife, Aisha) said, "When he would hear someone calling out for help."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الدَّائِمُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّ اللَّيْلِ كَانَ يَقُومُ؟ قَالَتْ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ  

"I said to 'Aishah: 'Which deed was most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' She said: 'That which was done persistently.' I said: 'At what part of the night did he pray Qiyam?' She said: 'When he heard the rooster.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1616)   

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ الدَّائِمُ قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَقُلْتُ فَأَيُّ حِينٍ كَانَ يَقُومُ؟ قَالَتْ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ  

[Machine] From Masruq who said: I asked Aisha, "Which action was most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" She said, "He loved continuous actions." I asked, "So at what time would he pray?" She said, "Whenever he heard the Adhan, he would stand up and pray."  

عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَقُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الدَّائِمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ حِينٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ قَامَ فَصَلَّى  

"I said to 'Aishah: 'Which deed was most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' She said: 'That which was done persistently.' I said: 'At what part of the night did he pray Qiyam?' She said: 'When he heard the rooster.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1616)  

قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ الدَّائِمُ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ اللَّيْلِ كَانَ يَقُومُ؟ قَالَتْ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ  

[Machine] The action of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was mentioned. She said, "The most beloved action to him was being consistent." I said, "At what time would he stand?" She said, "Whenever he would hear the crowing of the rooster." Abu Dawood said, "She means the call to dawn prayer."  

عَمَلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ الدَّائِمَ قُلْتُ فَأِيُّ حِينٍ كَانَ يَقُومُ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ قَامَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ تَعْنِي الدِّيكَ
