Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الدَّائِمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فِي أَيِّ حِينٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ قَامَ فَصَلَّى.
English Translation
Hasan ibn Musa and Husayn ibn Muhammad told us: Shayban told us, from al-Ash'ath, from his father, from Masruq, who said: I said to Aisha, "Which deed was most beloved to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?" She said: He loved the constant deed. I said, "At what time did he pray?" She said: When he heard the crowing cock, he would get up and pray.
