أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ الْمِقْسَمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ فَقَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ إِلَی بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَتَحَسَّسْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَاکِعٌ أَوْ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَکَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِکَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَقَالَتْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي إِنِّي لَفِي شَأْنٍ وَإِنَّکَ لَفِي آخَرَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1136
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “I noticed that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was missing one night, and I thought he had gone to one of his other wives. I tried to feel for him, and I found him bowing or prostrating and saying: (Glory and praise be to You, Allah, there is none worthy of worship but You).” She said: “May my father and mother be ransomed for you. I thought you were doing one thing and you were doing something else altogether.” (Sahih)
