الكبرى للنسائي:٤٢٧أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُصَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ لَحْمُهُ وَأَسَنَّ صَلَّى سَبْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ»
