حدثنا اسماعيل قال حدثني مالك عن سعيد المقبري عن ابي سلمه بن عبد الرحمن انه سال عائشه رضي الله عنها كيف كانت صلاه رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم في رمضان فقالت ما كان يزيد في رمضان ولا في غيرها علي احدي عشره ركعه يصلي اربعا فلا تسل عن حسنهن وطولهن ثم يصلي اربعا فلا تسل عن حسنهن وطولهن ثم يصلي ثلاثا فقلت يا رسول الله اتنام قبل ان توتر قال يا عائشه ان عيني تنامان ولا ينام قلبي
Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abdur-Rahmān (may Allah have mercy upon him) reported that he asked ‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) how the Prophet's prayer was in Ramadan. She said: "Neither in Ramadan, nor in any other month, did the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) exceed the eleven Rak‘ahs of prayer. He would pray four – and do not ask about their beauty and length; then he would pray another four, and do not ask about their beauty and length either, then he would pray three." ‘Ā'ishah then added: "I asked him: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you sleep before performing the Witr prayer?' he said: 'O ‘Ā'ishah, indeed, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.'"
