Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَتْ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَغَيْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَاحِدَةً كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ حُسْنِهِنَّ وَطُولِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوتِرَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ تَنَامَانِ وَقَلْبِي لَا يَنَامُ.
English Translation
Abu Salamah told us, from Malik ibn Anas, from Sa'id al-Maqburi, from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman, who said: I asked A'ishah, saying: "How did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, pray in Ramadan?" She said: his prayer in Ramadan and outside Ramadan was the same: he used to pray eleven rak'ahs. He would pray four - do not ask about how excellent and long they were - then he would pray four more rak'ahs - do not ask about how excellent and long they were - then he would pray three rak'ahs. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, do you sleep before performing the witr?" He said: "My eyes sleep, but my heart does not sleep."
