Narrated Al-Aswad:
I asked ‘Aisha “How is the night prayer of the Prophet?” She replied, “He used to sleep early at
night, and get up in its last part to pray, and then return to his bed. When the Muadh-dhin pro –
nounced the Adhan, 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 prayer).”
