[1723] 125 - (738) It was narrated from Abū Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahmān that he asked 'Āishah: "How did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ pray during Ramaḍān?" She said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not pray more, in Ramaḍān or at any other time, than eleven Rak'ah. He would pray four, and do not ask how beautiful and long they were. Then he would pray four, and do not ask how beautiful and long they were. Then he would pray three.” ‘Aishah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allâh, do you sleep before you pray Witr?’ He said: ‘O ‘Aishah, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.’”

125 - (738) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ، كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ، وَلَا فِي غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا، فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا، فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثًا، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ تَنَامَانِ، وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي»
