English translation

226. Ghūdaif bin Al-Hārith said that he asked 'Āishah: "Would the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ perform Ghusl when he was sexually impure at the beginning of the night, or at the end?" She replied: "He would sometimes perform Ghusl at the beginning of the night, and sometimes at the end." I said: "Allāhu Akbar! All Praise be to Allāh who made the matter accommodating." I then asked: "Would the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ pray the Witr prayer at the beginning of the night, or at the end?" She replied: "Sometimes he would pray Witr at the beginning of the night, and sometimes at the end." I said: "Allāhu Akbar! All Praise be to Allāh who made the matter accommodating." I then asked: "Would the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recite the Qur'ān loudly, or would he recite it silently?"[1] She replied: "He (ﷺ) would sometimes recite it loudly, and sometimes quietly." I said: "Allāhu Akbar! All Praise be to Allāh who made the matter accommodating." (Hasan)

226 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بُرْدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ، عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ: أَرَأَيْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ فِي آخِرِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: «رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ، وَرُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فِي آخِرِهِ»، قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُوتِرُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ أَمْ فِي آخِرِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: «رُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَرُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ فِي آخِرِهِ»، قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً. قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَمْ يَخْفُتُ بِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: «رُبَّمَا جَهَرَ بِهِ وَرُبَّمَا خَفَتَ»، قُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً
