ahmad:24708Abū Kāmil > Zuhayr > Abū Isḥāq

[Machine] Regarding the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , she said: He used to sleep at the beginning of the night and wake up at the end of it, and sometimes he needed to be with his family. Then he would sleep before touching water. When the first call to prayer was made, he would quickly respond, and she said: He would stand up and the water would be poured over him, and she said: He did not say that he washed, and I know what he intended. And if he was not in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity), he would perform wudu (ablution) for the prayer, just like a man does for prayer.

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُحْيِي آخِرَهُ فَرُبَّمَا كَانَتْ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ النِّدَاءِ الْأَوَّلِ وَثَبَ وَمَا قَالَتْ قَامَ فَأَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ وَمَا قَالَتْ اغْتَسَلَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ مَا تُرِيدُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ جُنُبًا تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَ الرَّجُلِ لِلصَّلَاةِ

He used to sleep in the early part of the night, and woke up in the latter part. If he then wished intercourse with his wife, he satisfied his desire, and then went to sleep; and when the first call to prayer was made he jumped up (by Allah, she, i. e. 'A'isha, did not say" he stood up" ), and poured water over him (by Allah she, i. e. 'A'isha, did not say that he took a bath but I know what she meant) and if he did not have an intercourse, he performed ablution, just as a man performs ablution for prayer and then observed two rak'ahs.

"I asked 'Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: 'He used to sleep during the first part of the night, then get up during the time before dawn and pray witr. Then he would go to his bed and if he needed to be intimate he would go to his wife. Then when he heard the Adhan he would get up, and if he was junub he would pour water over himself, otherwise he would perform wudu, then he would go out to the prayer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1680)

[Machine] About the night prayer of the Prophet ﷺ , it was said, "He used to sleep at the beginning of the night and then get up to pray. When it was close to dawn, if he had a need for his family, he would go to them, otherwise he would sleep. When he heard the call to prayer, he would quickly get up and what she (referring to the narrator) did not say was that he would perform a ritual bath if he was in a state of major ritual impurity, otherwise he would perform ablution. Then he would go out to pray."
