أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ وَکَانَ لِي أَخًا صَدِيقًا فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَدَّثَتْکَ بِهِ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَالَتْ کَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُحْيِي آخِرَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1645
It was narrated that Abu Ishaq said: “I came to Al-Aswad bin Yazid, who was a close friend of mine, and said: ‘Abu ‘Amr, tell me what the Mother of the Believers told you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم He said: She said: ‘He used to sleep for the first part of the night and stay up for the latter part.” (Sahih)
