[Machine] About the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? So she said, "He used to sleep at the beginning of the night and wake up at the end of it. If he had any need for his family, he would fulfill it, then he would sleep before touching water. When the first call to prayer was made, she said, 'He would immediately get up and, by Allah, he never said 'No'. He would take water and, by Allah, he never said 'No'. He would perform ablution and I know what he intended. If he had no need, he would perform the ablution of a man for prayer and then he would pray the two units (rak'ahs)."  

البيهقي:٩٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا زُهَيْرٌ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَلْحَانَ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ ثنا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ وَكَانَ لِي جَارًا وَصَدِيقًا عَمَّا حَدَّثَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُحْيِي آخِرَهُ ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ حَاجَةٌ قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ النِّدَاءِ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَتْ وَثَبَ فَلَا وَاللهِ مَا قَالَتْ قَامَ وَأَخَذَ الْمَاءَ وَلَا وَاللهِ مَا قَالَتْ اغْتَسَلَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ مَا تُرِيدُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَ الرَّجُلِ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ  

أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ يُونُسَ دُونَ قَوْلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ الْحُفَّاظَ طَعَنْوا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةِ وَتَوَهَّمُوهَا مَأْخُوذَةً عَنْ غَيْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَأَنَّ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ رُبَّمَا دَلَّسَ فَرَأَوْهَا مِنْ تَدْلِيسَاتِهِ وَاحْتَجُّوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِرِوَايَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بِخِلَافِ رِوَايَةِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ

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. (Using translation from Muslim 739)
