حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْمَازِنِيُّ، قَالَ أَبِي: " حُصَيْنٌ هَذَا صَالِحُ الْحَدِيثِ "، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةَ، فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: " كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَيُوتِرُ بِالتَّاسِعَةِ، وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، وَذَكَرَتِ الْوُضُوءَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُومُ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ، فَيَأْمُرُ بِطَهُورِهِ وَسِوَاكِهِ، فَلَمَّا بَدَّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، صَلَّى سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَوْتَرَ بِالسَّابِعَةِ، وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ "، قَالَتْ: " فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قُبِضَ "، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكِ عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ، فَمَا تَرَيْنَ فِيهِ؟ قَالَتْ: " فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، أَمَا سَمِعْتَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: {وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً} [الرعد: ٣٨] ، فَلَا تَبَتَّلْ "، ، قَالَ، فَخَرَجَ وَقَدْ فَقُهَ، فَقَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى خَرَجَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مُكْرَانَ، فَقُتِلَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ عَمَلِهِ (١)،

English translation
Once, Sa’d bin Hisham came to Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha and asked her about the prayer of the Prophet (peace be upon him). She said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray eight rak’ahs at night and would make the ninth rak’ah witr, and he would pray two rak’ahs sitting. Aisha also mentioned ablution, saying that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) would wake up for prayer, he would order water for ablution and a miswak to be brought. When the blessed body of the Prophet (peace be upon him) became heavy, he would pray six rak’ahs and make the seventh witr, and he would pray two rak’ahs sitting, and continued in this manner until his passing. I asked, “I want to ask you about seclusion; what is your opinion on it?” Aisha said, “Do not do so, because have you not heard Allah Almighty say: ‘We sent messengers before you and made for them wives and offspring’?” Therefore, do not become secluded. So he left from there and reached Basra, and after a short time set out towards “Makran” and was martyred there with the best of deeds.
