Hadith Text

It was narrated from Saad Bin Hisham that: 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  ?" He said: "Yes." Ibn Abbas said: "It is Aisha([ |punct:])?. 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 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 and said: "Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger of Allah ." 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 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 . I said: "O Mother of the Believers; tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ." 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 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 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 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."
