6/17. Chapter:
Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 428 — The Book of Salât (Prayer) of Travellers and Its Taqsir (Shortening)
Night prayer ( Tahajjud) and the number of the Rak‘a which the Prophet offered during the night, and to offer one Rak‘a as Witr, and one Rak‘a prayer is perfectly correct.
Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan : 428
Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 428
حديث عَائِشَةَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ، كَيْفَ كَانَ صَلَاةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ قَالَتْ: كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَهُ، وَيَقُومُ آخِرَهُ، فَيُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَإِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ وَثَبَ فَإِنْ كَانَ بِهِ حَاجَةٌ اغْتَسَلَ، وَإِلَاّ تَوَضَّأَ وَخَرَجَ.
Al-Aswad Narrated from:
I asked ‘Âisha رضى الله عنها about the night prayer of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ? She replied, “He used to sleep during the first part of the night, and get up in its last part for Salât (prayer), and then return to his bed. When the Mu‘adhdhin pronounced the Adhân, he would get up. If he was in need of a bath he would take it; otherwise he would perform ablution and then go out (for the Salat).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 247, Vol. 2)
