English translation

1343. (Another chain) from Qatādah, with his narration similarly (as no. 1342). He said: "He (ﷺ) would pray eight Rak'ahs, sitting down only in the last Rak'ah; for he would sit down (in that Rak'ah) remembering Allāh, then he would pray (to Allāh), then he would say the Taslīm such that we could hear it. Then he would pray two Rak'ahs while he was sitting — after he had said the Taslīm — then he would pray one Rak'ah. So this is a total of eleven Rak'ahs, O my son. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ grew older, and gained weight, he prayed the Witr with seven Rak'ahs, and then he would pray two Rak'ahs while sitting down — after he had said the Taslim..." narrating the the rest of its meaning up to "verbally from her." (Sahih)

1343 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ، قَالَ: يُصَلِّي ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا يَجْلِسُ فِيهِنَّ إِلَّا عِنْدَ الثَّامِنَةِ، فَيَجْلِسُ، فَيَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ يَدْعُو، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا يُسْمِعُنَا، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بَعْدَمَا يُسَلِّمُ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَةً، فَتِلْكَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يَا بُنَيَّ، فَلَمَّا أَسَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَخَذَ اللَّحْمَ، أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعٍ، وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بَعْدَمَا يُسَلِّمُ بِمَعْنَاهُ إِلَى مُشَافَهَةً.
