” On the second day he (the Holy Prophet) observed the evening prayer before the disappearance of the twilight.”

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said the afternoon” prayer as the sun shone in my apartment, and the afternoon shadow did not extend further. Abu Bakr said: The afternoon shadow did not appear to extend further.

I said to ‘A’isha and she made a mention of that (recorded above) about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

Zuhri reported this hadith with the same chain of transmitters, except this that he made a mention of one year or two years.

‘A’isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray eleven rak’ahs at night, observing the Witr with a single rak’ah, and when he had finished them, he lay down on his right side, till the Mu’adhdhin came to him and he (the Holy Prophet) then observed two short rak’ahs (of Sunan of the dawn prayer).

Iqama was pronounced. ant the people had formed themselves into rows. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out and stood at his place, and then pointed out with his hand that we should stand at our places. He then went away and took a bath and water trickled from his head and then led them in prayer.

‘A’isha reported that the Apostle (ﷺ) was not so much particular about observing supererogatory rak’ahs as in case of the two rak’ahs of the dawn prayer.

I have never seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) hastening as much in observing supererogatory as two rak’ahs before the (Fard) of the dawn prayer.

” Say: O unbelievers,” (Qur’an, cix.) and” Say: Allah is one” (cxii.).

I asked ‘A’isha about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the night (i. e. Tahajjud prayer) She replied: He used to pray for a long time standing and for a long time sitting in the night, and when he recited the Qur’an while standing, he would bow himself from the standing position, and when he recited while sitting, he would bow from the sitting position.
