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.  

مسلم:٧٣٩وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الأَسْوَدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ عَمَّا حَدَّثَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ

عَنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُحْيِي آخِرَهُ ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ النِّدَاءِ الأَوَّلِ قَالَتْ وَثَبَ وَلاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَتْ قَامَ فَأَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ وَلاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَتِ اغْتَسَلَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ مَا تُرِيدُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ جُنُبًا تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَ الرَّجُلِ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ

[Machine] About the salah (prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: I asked, "Was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ accustomed to sleeping at the beginning of the night and waking up at the end of it?" He replied, "Yes." When he woke up, he would perform ablution and pray the portion of salah that Allah had obligated upon him. If he had a need to attend to his family, he would go to them, and if not, he would go back to his bed. If he went to his family, he would sleep in whatever state he was in, without touching water, until when the first athan (call to prayer) was given, he would wake up. By Allah, he would not say, "He woke up", but rather, "He stood up." And if he was in a state of sexual impurity (junub), he would pour water over himself. By Allah, he would not say, "He washed himself", but rather, "He poured water over himself." Otherwise, he would perform ablution and then pray two units of prayer (rakatayn), and then he would go out to the masjid.

[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.  

أحمد:٢٤٧٠٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ وَكَانَ لِي أَخًا أَوْ صَدِيقًا فَقُلْتُ أَبَا عَمْرٍو حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَدَّثَتْكَ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

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  

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مَا وَصَفْنَاهُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ بَيْنَ الْعِشَاءِ وَالْفَجْرِ بَعْدَ نَوْمِهِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ

[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."

عَنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ أَوْتَرَ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَإِلَّا نَامَ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ وَثَبَ وَمَا قَالَتْ قَامَ فَإِنْ كَانَ جُنُبًا أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَمَا قَالَتِ اغْتَسَلَ وَإِلَّا تَوَضَّأَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ»

"عَنْ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُومُ آخِرَهُ، فُيَصَلِّي مَا قُضِيَ لَهُ، فَإِذَا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ مَالَ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ أَتَى أَهْلَهُ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ كَهَيْئَتِهِ لَمْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً، فَإِذَا سَمِعَ المُنَادِىَ الأَوَّلَ قَامَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ جُنُبًا اغْتَسَلَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ جُنُبًا تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ للِصَّلَاةِ، ثم صلى ركعتين ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ".
