I asked Ayesha about the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said, "He would sleep at the beginning of the night, then rise. When the last portion of the night came, he would pray Witr, then return to his bed. If he had a need, he would be intimate with his wife. When he heard the call to prayer, he would spring up. If he was in a state of major impurity, he would pour water over himself, otherwise he would perform ablution, then he would go out to the prayer."
حدثنا محمد بن جعفر قال حدثنا شعبة عن أبي إسحاق
سألت عائشة عن صلاة رسول الله ﷺ بالليل فقالت كان ينام أول الليل ثم يقوم فإذا كان من السحر أوتر ثم أتى فراشه فإن كان له حاجة ألم بأهله فإذا سمع الأذان وثب فإن كان جنبا أفاض عليه الماء وإلا توضأ ثم خرج إلى الصلاة
