bayhaqi:4890Abū ʿAlī al-Rūdhbārī > Abū Bakr b. Dāsah > Abū Dāwud > Yaḥyá b. Ḥakīm > Bishr b. ʿUmar > Mālik b. Anas > Sālim Abū al-Naḍr > Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > ʿĀʾishah

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer late in the night, he would see. If I was awake, he would talk to me. If I was sleeping, he would awaken me, and pray two rak'ahs, then he would lie down as long as the mu'adhdhin came to him and call him for the dawn prayer. Then he would pray two rak'ahs lightly and come out for prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1262)   

البيهقي:٤٨٩٠وَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ نَظَرَ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَيْقِظَةً حَدَّثَنِي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ نَائِمَةً أَيْقَظَنِي وَصَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَيُؤْذِنَهُ بِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَهَذَا بِخِلَافِ رِوَايَةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ
