حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ لِي: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: سَعْدُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَتْ: رَحِمَ اللهُ أَبَاكَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ: أَخْبِرِينِي عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَتْ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَجَلْ، وَلَكِنْ أَخْبِرِينِي، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ عِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةِ، ثُمَّ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَإِذَا (٢)، ، كَانَ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ قَامَ إِلَى طَهُورِهِ، فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ، يُسَوِّي بَيْنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِيهِنَّ، وَالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ، ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، ثُمَّ يَضَعُ رَأْسَهُ، فَرُبَّمَا جَاءَ بِلَالٌ فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يُغْفِيَ (١) ، وَرُبَّمَا شَكَكْتُ أَغْفَى، أَوْ لَمْ يُغْفِ حَتَّى يُؤْذِنَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ، قَالَتْ: فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَسَنَّ وَلَحُمَ، وَكَانَ (٢) يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ الْعِشَاءَ، ثُمَّ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ قَامَ إِلَى طَهُورِهِ، فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ، يُسَوِّي بَيْنَهُنَّ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ، ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، فَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يُغْفِ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ بِلَالٌ فَيُؤْذِنَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ، وَرُبَّمَا شَكَكْتُ أَغْفَى أَوْ (٣) لَمْ يُغْفِ " (٤)،
Translation

Sa’d bin Hisham, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I reached Madinah Munawwarah and presented myself before Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. She asked me, “Who are you?” I replied, “Sa’d bin Hisham.” She said, “May Allah send His mercy upon your father.” I said, “Tell me about the (night) prayer of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would lead the people in the ‘Isha prayer, then come to his bed. In the middle of the night, he would wake up, perform ablution, enter the mosque, and pray eight rak’ahs with equal recitation, bowing, and prostration. Then he would pray one rak’ah of witr, then while sitting, he would pray two rak’ahs, then lay his head down and rest. Sometimes, before he would doze off, Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, would come and inform him of the prayer. This continued in the same way until, when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, became heavy in body and advanced in age, he reduced the eight rak’ahs to six, but the rest of the routine remained the same.
