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 Saad 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: Dont you read the Quran? I said: Yes. She said The character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Quran. 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 AlLail obligatory at the beginning of this surah; so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions prayed Qiyam AlLail 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 AlLail 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 rakahs 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 rakas sitting after uttering the taslim; then he would pray one rakah; and that made eleven rakahs; O my son! When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew older and put on weight; he prayed witr with seven rakahs; then he prayed two rakahs sitting down after saying the taslim; and that made nine rakahs. 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 AlLail; he would pray twelve rakahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ having recited the whole Quran 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. -0.00094 true 2018-11-15T07:16:38Z 2458437.8032176 SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sahih AlBukhari]] SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sahih Muslim]] SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan AlNasai]] SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan Abu Dawoud]] SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan AlTermithi]] SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Muwata Malik]] SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550 0 [2,"smw-datavalue-wikipage-property-invalid-title","Has Quran Surat","Category:"] SunanAlNasai-017-001-15550
