Text and translation

English translation

1262. It was reported from Sālim Abū An-Nadr, from Abū Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahmān, from 'Aishah, who said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would finish his night prayer, he would see if I were awake — in which case he would talk to me — or if I were asleep, in which case he would wake me up. And he would pray two Rak'ahs, then lie down until the Mu'adh-dhin would come informing him of the (time) for the Subh prayer. Then he would pray two light Rak'ahs, then leave (for the Masjid) for the prayer." (Sahih)

Arabic text

1262 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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»
