Hadith #38820
وعنها قالت: ما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، يزيد- في رمضان ولا في غيره- على إحدي عشرة ركعة: يصلي أربعًا فلا تسأل عن حسنهن وطولهن! ثم يصلي أربعًا فلا تسأل عن حسنهن وطولهن! ثم يصلي ثلاثًا. فقلت: يا رسول الله أتنام قبل أن توتر!؟ فقال:
"يا عائشة إن عيني تنامان ولا ينام قلبي". ((متفق عليه)) .
On her authority, she said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not exceed - in Ramadan or at any other time - more than eleven rak’ahs: He would pray four, so do not ask about their beauty and length! Then he would pray four, so do not ask about their beauty or length! Then he would pray three. So I said: O Messenger of God, should you sleep before you perform the Witr prayer? He said:
“O Aisha, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.” (Agreed upon)
