حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَکِيمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَضَی صَلَاتَهُ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ نَظَرَ فَإِنْ کُنْتُ مُسْتَيْقِظَةً حَدَّثَنِي وَإِنْ کُنْتُ نَائِمَةً أَيْقَظَنِي وَصَلَّی الرَّکْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّی يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَيُؤْذِنَهُ بِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَيُصَلِّي رَکْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1262
Narrated Aishah: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer late in the night, he would see. If I was awake, he would talk to me. If I was sleeping, he would awaken me, and pray two rak'ahs, then he would lie down as long as the muadhdhin came to him and call him for the dawn prayer. Then he would pray two rak'ahs lightly and come out for prayer.
