1352. It was reported from Al-Hasan, from Sa’d bin Hishām, that he said: “I went to Al-Madinah, and visited ‘Aishah and asked her: ‘Inform me about the prayer of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.’ She said: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would lead the people in the ‘Ishā’ prayer, then lie down in his bed and sleep. In the middle of the night, he would wake up for his needs, and (go to) his water for purification, and perform Wudū’. Then he would enter the Masjid and pray eight Rak’ahs — it appeared to me that he would make the recitation, the Rukū’, and the prostration equal (in length). “Then he would pray Witr with one Rak’ah, and then pray two Rak’ahs while sitting down. He would then lie on his side. And sometimes Bilāl would come and inform him of the prayer (time), and he would take a nap, and sometimes I would doubt whether he had taken a nap or not, until Bilāl would inform him of the prayer. And this was his prayer, until he became old and gained weight.’ Then she mentioned (his prayer after) he had gained weight..." and he cited the Hadīth. (Sahīh)
