Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَدِّثِينِي عَنْ خُلُقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ أَلَسْتَ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهَا وَكَانَ إِذَا فَاتَهُ الْقِيَامُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ غَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ بِنَوْمٍ أَوْ وَجَعٍ صَلَّى ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنْ النَّهَارِ قَالَتْ وَلَمْ يَقُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً يُتِمُّهَا حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ وَلَمْ يَقْرَإِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ يُتِمُّهُ وَلَمْ يَصُمْ شَهْرًا يُتِمُّهُ غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى مَاتَ.
English Translation
Bahz told us, saying Hammam told us, saying Qatadah told us, from Zurarah bin Awfa, that Sa'd bin Hisham told him, saying: I said: O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. She said: Do you not read the Qur'an? He said: I said: Yes indeed, and he mentioned the rest of the hadith. She said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, whenever he prayed a prayer, would maintain it regularly; and whenever he missed standing in prayer at night due to his eyes being overcome by sleep or pain, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. She said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, never stood in prayer through an entire night until morning, nor recited the whole Qur'an in a single night, nor fasted a whole month other than Ramadan, until he died.
