Sahih Muslim Hadith 1728 – Night Prayers And

English

[1728] 129 – (739) It was narrated that Abü Isl:iâq said: "I asked AI-Aswad bin YazId what 'Aishah had told him about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah . She said: 'He used to sleep for the first part of the night and stay up for the latter part. Then if he had any need (for intimacy) from his wife he would satisfy that need, then he would go to sleep. Then when the first call came,' she said, 'he leapt up' – and by Allah she did not say 'he got up' – 'and poured water over himself – and by Allah, she did not say, 'he performed Ghusl,' and I know what she meant. 'If he was not Junub, he would perform Wudi2' as a man does for prayer, then he prayed the two Rak'ah."
