أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَامَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ صَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَامَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ فَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّی صَلَّی سِتًّا ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِثَلَاثٍ وَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1709
Sufyan narrated from Habib bin Abi Thabit, from from Muhammad bin ‘All, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet got up at night and cleaned his teeth, then he prayed two Rak’ahs, then he slept. Then he got up and cleaned his teeth, then he performed Wudu’ and prayed two Rak’ahs, until he had prayed six. Then he prayed Witr with three Rak’ahs, and prayed two Rak’ahs. (Sahih)
