Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُؤَخِّرُ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِائَةِ إِلَى السِّتِّينَ وَكَانَ يَنْصَرِفُ حِينَ يَنْصَرِفُ وَبَعْضُنَا يَعْرِفُ وَجْهَ بَعْضٍ.
English Translation
Yunus narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Sayyar ibn Salamah, from Abu Barzah al-Aslami, that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to delay the late Isha prayer until a third of the night had passed. He disliked sleeping before it and conversing after it. He used to recite in Fajr between one hundred and sixty verses, and he would finish when some of us could recognize each other's faces.
