ahmad:25347ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Qatādah > Zurārah b. Awfá

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he used to pray nine units of prayer, in which he would not sit except after the eighth unit to praise and remember Allah and supplicate to Him. Then he would get up without performing the final peace greeting and pray the ninth unit, in which he would sit and praise and remember Allah and supplicate to Him. Then he would perform the final peace greeting audibly so that we could hear it. After that, he would pray two units of prayer while he was sitting.  

أحمد:٢٥٣٤٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَكَانَ جَارًا لَهُ أَخْبَرَهُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَأَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرَتْ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا يَقْعُدُ فِيهِنَّ إِلَّا عِنْدَ الثَّامِنَةِ فَيَحْمَدُ اللهَ ﷻوَيَذْكُرُهُ وَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ يَنْهَضُ وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي التَّاسِعَةَ فَيَقْعُدُ يَحْمَدُ اللهَ ﷻ وَيَذْكُرُهُ وَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا يُسْمِعُنَا ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ

nasai:1720Hārūn b. Isḥāq > ʿAbdah > Saʿīd > Qatādah > Zurārah b. Awfá > Saʿd b. Hishām > ʿĀʾishah

"We used to prepare siwak and water for wudu for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Allah (SWT) would wake him when He willed to wake him at night, then he would clean his teeth and make wudu, and pray nine rak'ahs, not sitting until the eighth, when he would praise Allah (SWT) and send blessings upon His Prophet and supplicate between them, but he did not say the taslim. Then he prayed the ninth and sat, and said something similar, praising Allah (SWT) and sending blessings upon His Prophet ﷺ, then he said a taslim that we could hear, then he prayed two rak'ahs sitting down."

After completing the eighth unit, he would sit and praise and remember Allah, make supplications, then he would stand up without saying the final salutation, and he would pray the ninth unit, remembering Allah and making supplications, then he would complete the prayer in a way that we could hear it. After that, he would pray two units of prayer while sitting."  

ابن حبّان:٢٤٤٢أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَوْتَرَ بِتِسْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ لَمْ يَقْعُدْ إِلَّا فِي الثَّامِنَةِ فَيَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَيَذْكُرُهُ وَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ يَنْهَضُ وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي التَّاسِعَةَ وَيَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ وَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا يُسْمِعُنَاهُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»
