2013. Narrated Abū Salama bin ‘Abdur Raḥmān that he asked ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها “How was the Ṣalāt (prayer) of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ in Ramaḍān?” She replied, “He did not perform Ṣalāt (prayer) more than eleven Rak’ā in Ramaḍān or in any other month. He used to perform four Rak’ā – let alone their beauty and length – and then he would perform four Rak’ā – let alone their beauty and length – and then he would perform three Rak’ā (Witr).” She added, “I asked, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Do you sleep before praying the Witr?’ he replied, ‘O ‘Āishah! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.’”
