Hadith 38102

Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburifrom Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that he asked A'isha, thewife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, what theprayer of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, was like during Ramadan. She said, "The Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, did not go above eleven rakas inRamadan or at any other time. He prayed four - do not ask me abouttheir beauty or length. Then he prayed another four - do not ask meabout their beauty and length. Then he prayed three."A'ishacontinued, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, are you sleeping before youdo the witr?' He said, A'isha, my eyes sleep but my heart does notsleep.' "
