3569. Narrated Abū Salama bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān that he asked 'Āishah رضي الله عنها, "How was the Salāt (prayer) of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in the month of Ramaḍān?" She replied, "He used not to offer Salāt (2) (Ch. 24) His eyes were closed while sleeping but he was conscious. (prayer) more than eleven Rak'a whether in Ramaḍān or in any other month. He used to offer four Rak'a — let alone their beauty and length, and then four Rak'a — let alone their beauty and length. Afterwards he would offer three Rak'a. I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! Do you go to bed before offering the Witr prayer?' He said, 'My eyes sleep, but my heart does not sleep.'"

3569 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ المَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلاَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلاَ فِي غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، فَلاَ تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا، فَلاَ تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلاَثًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ؟ قَالَ: «تَنَامُ عَيْنِي وَلاَ يَنَامُ قَلْبِي»
