1344 — ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us, Muḥammad ibn Bishr narrated to us, Saʿīd narrated to us, with this ḥadīth. He said: He would give the salutation a salutation that made us hear, just as Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd said.(1)

1345 — Muḥammad ibn Bashshār narrated to us, Ibn Abī ʿAdī narrated to us, from Saʿīd, with this ḥadīth. Ibn Bashshār said, similar to the ḥadīth of Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd, except that he said: And he would give the salutation, a single salutation that made us hear.(2)

1346 — ʿAlī ibn Ḥusayn al-Darhamī narrated to us, Ibn Abī ʿAdī narrated to us, from Bahz ibn Ḥakīm, Zurārah ibn Awfā narrated to us, that ʿĀ’ishah was asked about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the depths of the night. She said:

He would pray the ʿishā’ prayer in congregation, then return to his family and pray four rakʿahs. Then he would go to his bed and sleep, with his purification water covered near his head and his toothstick placed, until Allah roused him at the hour He rouses him from the night. Then he would use the toothstick and perform the ablution completely. Then he would stand at his prayer place and pray eight rakʿahs, reciting in them the Mother of the Book, a sūrah from the Qur’an, and whatever Allah willed. He would not sit in any of them until he sat in the eighth, and he would not give the salutation. Then he would recite in the ninth, then sit and supplicate with whatever he wished.

(1) Its chain is sound. Saʿīd: he is Ibn Abī ʿArūbah.
Muslim (746) and Ibn Mājah (1191) and (1348) also transmitted it via the path of Muḥammad ibn Bishr, with this chain. The ḥadīth in Ibn Mājah at the second location is abridged to ʿĀ’ishah’s statement: “I do not know that the Prophet of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, recited the entire Qur’an until morning.” Muslim did not cite its wording, but referred to the narration of Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdī, from Saʿīd ibn Abī ʿArūbah, which is the lengthy version with him. See what preceded under numbers (1342) and (1343), and what will follow after it.

(2) Its chain is sound. Ibn Abī ʿAdī: he is Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm.
Muslim (746) also transmitted it via the path of Ibn Abī ʿAdī, with this chain.
