1146. Narrated Al-Aswad: I asked 'Āishah رضي الله عنها about the Šalāt (prayer) of the Prophet ﷺ at night. She replied, "He used to sleep during the first part of night, and get up in its last part to offer Šalāt (prayer), and then return to his bed. When the Mu'adh-dhīn (the call-maker) pronounced the Adhān, he would get up. If he was in need of a bath he would take it; otherwise he would perform ablution and then go out [for the Šalāt (prayer)]."
1146 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلاَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّيْلِ؟ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَهُ وَيَقُومُ آخِرَهُ، فَيُصَلِّي، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَإِذَا أَذَّنَ المُؤَذِّنُ وَثَبَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ بِهِ حَاجَةٌ، اغْتَسَلَ وَإِلَّا تَوَضَّأَ وَخَرَجَ»
