أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ کَيْفَ کَانَتْ قِرَائَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّيْلِ يَجْهَرُ أَمْ يُسِرُّ قَالَتْ کُلُّ ذَلِکَ قَدْ کَانَ يَفْعَلُ رُبَّمَا جَهَرَ وَرُبَّمَا أَسَرَّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1667
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qais said: “I asked ‘Aishah: ‘How did the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم recite at night — did he recite loudly or silently?’ She said: ‘He used to do both; sometimes he recited loudly and sometimes he recited silently.” (Sahih)
