حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ بِشْرٍ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا أَلْفَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّحَرُ الْأَعْلَی فِي بَيْتِي أَوْ عِنْدِي إِلَّا نَائِمًا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1731
Masruq is reported to have asked 'A'isha about the action (most pleasing to) the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). She said: He (the Holy Prophet) loved (that action) which one keeps on doing regularly. I said (to 'A'isha): When did he pray (at night)? She replied: When he heard the cock crow, he got up and observed prayer.
