He met Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about Witr. He said: "Shall I not lead you to
one who knows best among the people of the world about the witr of the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ)?" He said: "Yes." (Ibn Abbas) said: "It is 'Aishah. So go to her
and ask her (about witr) and then come back to me and tell me the answer that
she gives you." So I went to Hakim bin Aflah and asked him to go accompany me to
her. He said: "I shall not go to her, for I told her not to say anything about
these two (conflicting) groups, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went
on (to participate in the conflict)." I swore an oath, beseeching him (to take
me to her). So he came with me and went unto her. She said to Hakim: "Who is
this with you?" He said: "He is Sa'd bin Hisham." She said: "Which Hisham?" He
said: "Ibn Amir." She supplicated for mercy for him and said: "What a good man
Amir was." He said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of
the Messenger of Allah." She said: "Don't you read the Qur'an?" I said: "Yes."
She said "The character of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the Qur'an." He said:
"I wanted to get up (and leave), then I thought of the Qiyam (night prayer) of
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: "Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ)." She said: "Do you not recite this surah: "O you wrapped in
garments?" I said: "Yes." She said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made Qiyam
Al-Lail obligatory at the beginning of this surah, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
and his companions prayed Qiyam Al-Lail for one year. Allah (SWT) withheld the
latter part of this surah for twelve months, then he revealed the lessening (of
this duty) at the end of this surah, so Qiyam Al-Lail became voluntary after it
had been obligatory." I felt inclined to stand up (and not ask anything
further), then I thought of the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I said: "O
Mother of the Believers, tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)."
She said: "We used to prepare his siwak and water for his ablution, and Allah
(SWT) would wake him when He wished during the night. He would use the siwak,
perform ablution, and then pray eight rak'ahs in which he would not sit until he
reached the eighth one. Then he would sit and remember Allah (SWT) and
supplicate, then he would say the taslim that we could hear. Then he would pray
two rak'as sitting after uttering the taslim, then he would pray one rak'ah, and
that made eleven rak'ahs, O my son! When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) grew older
and put on weight, he prayed witr with seven rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs
sitting down after saying the taslim, and that made nine rak'ahs. O my son, when
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)offered a prayer, he liked to continue to offer it,
and when sleep, sickness, or pain distracted him from praying Qiyam Al-Lail, he
would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah
(ﷺ) having recited the whole Qur'an during a single night, or praying through
the whole night until morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan." I
went to Ibn 'Abbas and told him what she had said, and he said: "She has spoken
the truth. If I could go to her (and meet her face to face) I would so that she
could tell me all of that verbally."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed in the masjid one night, and some people
followed his prayer. Then he prayed the following night and more people came.
Then they gathered on the third or fourth night and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
did not come out to them. When morning came he said: "I saw what you did, and
nothing prevented me from coming out to you but the fact that I feared that this
would be made obligatory for you," and that was in Ramadan.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When any one of you goes to sleep, the Shaitan
ties three knots on his head, saying each time: "(Sleep) a long night." If he
wakes up and remembers Allah (SWT), one knot is undone. If he performs wudu',
another knot is undone. If he prays, all the knots are undone and he starts his
day in a good mood and feeling energetic. Otherwise he starts his day in a bad

It was narrated from Zaid bin Zabyan who attributed it to Abu Dharr that:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There are three whom Allah (SWT) loves: A man who comes
to some people and asks (to be given something) for the sake of Allah and not
for the sake of their relationship, but they do not give him, so a man stayed
behind and gave it to him in secret, and no one knew of his giving except Allah
(SWT) and the one to whom he gave it. People who travel all night until sleep
becomes dearer to them than anything equated with it, so they lay down their
heads (and slept), then a man among them got up and started praying to Me and
beseeching Me, reciting My Verses. And a man who was on a campaign and met the
enemy and they fled, but he went forward (pursuing them) until he was killed or
victory was granted."

"I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) one night. He started to recite Al-Baqarah and I
thought, 'he will bow when he reaches one hundred,' but he carried on. I
thought, 'he is going to recite the whole surah in one rak'ah,' but he carried
on. He started to recite An-Nisa' and recited (the whole surah), then he started
to recite Al Imran and recited (the whole surah), reciting slowly. When he
reached a verse that spoke of glorifying Allah (SWT), he glorified Him. When he
reached a verse that spoke of supplication, he made supplication. When he
reached a verse that spoke of seeking refuge with Allah, he sought refuge with
Him. Then he bowed and said: 'Subhana Rabbiyal-Azim.(Glory be to my Lord
Almighty)', and he bowed for almost as long as he had stood. Then he raised his
head and said: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)',

Lord, the Most High;' and "Say: O you disbelievers!'; and 'Say: He is Allah,
(the) One." And after he had said the salam, he would say:
Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) raising his
voice the third time."

and prostrate, and he did that after witr. Then when he heard the call for Subh,
he stood up and prayed two brief rak'ahs.
