أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا لَمْ يُصَلِّ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ مَنَعَهُ مِنْ ذَلِکَ نَوْمٌ أَوْ وَجَعٌ صَلَّی مِنْ النَّهَارِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَکْعَةً
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1794
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم did not pray at night because he was prevented from doing so by sleep — meaning, sleep overwhelmed him — or by pain, he would pray twelve Rak’ahs during the day.(Sahih)
