It was narrated that Saad Bin Hisham Bin Amir said: I came to AlMadinah and entered upon Aisha; may Allah SWT be pleased with her. She said: Who are you? I said: I am Saad Bin Hisham Bin Amir. She said: May Allah have mercy on your father. I said: Tell me about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did such and such. I said: Yes indeed. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray Isha at night; then he would go to his bed and sleep. In the middle of the night; he would get up to relieve himself and go to his water for purification and perform Ablution. Then he went into the Masjid and prayed eight rakahs. I think he made the recitation; bowing and prostration equal in length. Then he prayed one rakah of witr; then he prayed two rakahs sitting down. Then he lay down on his side. Sometimes Bilal would come and tell him that it was time to pray before he napped; and sometimes he napped. And sometimes I was not sure if he had napped or not before he told him that it was time to pray. This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray until he grew older and gained weight- and she mentioned whatever Allah SWT willed about his gaining weight. She said: And the Prophet ﷺ used to lead the people in praying witr; then he would go to his bed. In the middle of the night; he would get up and go to water for purification; and to relieve himself; then he would perform Ablution. Then he would go into the masjid and pray six rakahs; and I think he made the recitation; bowing; and prostration equal in length. Then he prayed one rakah of witr; then he prayed two rakahs sitting down. Then he lay down on his side. Sometimes Bilal would come and tell him that it was time to pray before he napped; and sometimes he napped. And sometimes I was not sure if he had napped or not before he told him that it was time to pray. She said: And this is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued to pray.
