حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَی قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ح و حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَی بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْحَرِيرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِهِمَا تِسْعَ رَکَعَاتِ قَائِمًا يُوتِرُ مِنْهُنَّ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1725
Abu Salama asked 'A'isha about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) She said: He observed thirteen rak'ahs (in the night prayer). He observed eight rak'ahs and would then observe Witr and then observe two rak'ahs sitting, and when he wanted to bow he stood up and then bowed down, and then observed two rak'ahs in between the Adhan and lqama of the dawn prayer.
