She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not observe either in Ramadan or in other months more than eleven rakahs of the night prayer. He in the first instance observed four rakahs. Ask not about their excellence and their length i. e. these were matchless in perfection and length. He again observed four rakahs; and ask not about their excellence and their length. He would then observe three rakahs of the Witr prayer. Aisha again said: I said: Messenger of Allah; do you sleep before observing the Witr prayer? He said: O Aisha; my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep. | The Chapter on Bowing In Prayers The Month Of Ramadan in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 17 in Sahih Muslim |

Aisha; did not say he stood up ; and poured water over him by Allah she; i. e. Aisha; did not say that he took a bath but I know what she meant and if he did not have an intercourse; he performed ablution; just as a man performs ablution for prayer and then observed two rakahs. | The Chapter on Ablution Or Tayammum After Sleeping in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 17 in Sahih Muslim |

| SahihMuslim-017-001-24441 | | Ibn Juraij reported: I said to Ata: Which time do you deem fit for me to say the Isya prayer; -as an Imam or alone; -that time which is called by people Atama? He said: I heard Ibn Abbas saying: The Apostle of Allah ﷺ one night delayed the Isya prayer till the people went to sleep. They woke up and again went to sleep and again woke up. Then Umar Bin AlKhattab stood up and said loudly Prayer. Ata further reported that Ibn Abbas said: The Apostle of Allah ﷺ came out; and as if I am still seeing him with water trickling from his head; and with his hand placed on one side of the head; and he said: Were it not hard for my Ummah; I would have ordered them to observe this prayer like this i. e. at late hours. I inquired from Ata how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand upon his head as Ibn Abbas had informed. So Ata spread his fingers a little and then placed the ends of his fingers on the side of his head. He then moved them like this over his head till the thumb touched that part of the ear which is near the face and then it went to the earlock and the part of the heard. It the bind neither held nor caught anything but this is how it moved oil. I said to Ata: Was it mentioned to you by Ibn Abbas how long did the Apostle ﷺ delay it the prayer during that eight? He said: I do not know I cannot give you the exact time. Ali said: I love that I should say prayer; whether as an Imam or alone at delayed hours as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that night; but if It is hard upon you in your individual capacity or upon people in the congregation and you are their Imam; then say prayer Isha at the middle hours neither too early nor too late. | The Chapter on Personal Hygiene Hands And Face in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 39 in Sahih Muslim |
| SahihMuslim-017-001-24552 | | Imran Bin Hosain reported: I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a journey. We travelled the whole of the night; and when it was about to dawn; we got down for rest; and were overpowered by sleep till the sun shone. Abu Bakr was the first to awake amongst us. and we did not awake the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from his sleep allowing him to wake up of his own accord. It was Umar who then woke up. He stood by the side of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and recited takbir in a loud voice till the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up. When he lifted his head; he saw that the sun had arisen; he then said: Proceed on. He travelled along with us till the sun shone brightly. He came down from his camel and led us in the morning prayer. A person; however; remained away from the people and did not say; prayer along with us. After having completed the prayer; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: O; so and so; what prevented you from observing prayer with us? He said: Apostle of Allah! I was not in a state of purity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him arid lie performed Tayammum with dust and said prayer. He then urged me to go ahead immediately along with other riders to find out water; for we felt very thirsty. We were traveling when we came across a woman who was sitting on a camel with her feet hanging over two leathern water bags. We said to her: How far is water available? She; said: Far; very far; very far. You cannot get water. We again said: How much distance is there between the residence of your family and water? She said: It is a day and night journey. We said to her: You go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: Who is the Messenger of Allah? We somehow or the other managed to bring her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he asked about her; and she informed him as she had informed us that she was a widow having orphan children. He ordered that her camel should be made to kneal down and he gargled in the opening of her leathern water-bag. The camel was then raised up and we forty thirsty men drank water till we were completely satiated; and we filled up all leathern water-bags and water-skins that we had with us and we washed our companions; but we did not make any camel drink; and the leathern water-bags were about to burst on account of excess of water. He then said: Bring whatever you have with you. So we collected the bits of estable things and dates and packed them up in a bundle; and said to her: Take it away. This is meant for your children; and know that we have not its any way done any loss to your water. W hen she came to her family she said: I have met the greatest magician amongst human beings; or he is an apostle; as he claims to be; and she then narrated what had happened and Allah guided aright those people through that woman. She affirmed her faith in Islam and so did the people embrace Islam. | The Chapter on Journeys And Travel And Camels in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 55 in Sahih Muslim |
