حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ وِتْرِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ رُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَرُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ مِنْ آخِرِهِ . قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَتُهُ أَكَانَ يُسِرُّ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ أَمْ يَجْهَرُ قَالَتْ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ رُبَّمَا أَسَرَّ وَرُبَّمَا جَهَرَ وَرُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فَنَامَ وَرُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأَ فَنَامَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُ قُتَيْبَةَ تَعْنِي فِي الْجَنَابَةِ .

English translation
Abd Allah b. Abu Qais said: I asked 'Aishah about the witr observes by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She replied: Sometime he observed the witr prayer in the early hours of the night, sometimes he observed it at the end of it. I asked: How did he recite the Qur'an ? Did he recite the Qur'an quietly or loudly ? She replied: He did it in any way. Sometimes he recited quietly and sometimes loudly, sometimes he took bath and then slept and sometimes he performed ablution and then slept. Abu Dawud said: The narrators other than Qutaibah said: This refer to his bath due to sexual defilement

। ‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু ক্বায়িস (রহঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা আমি ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাঃ)-কে রসুলুল্লাহর সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বিতর সালাত সম্বন্ধে জিজ্ঞেস করলে তিনি বলেন, তিনি বিতর সালাত কখনো রাতের প্রথমাংশে আবার কখনো শেষাংশে আদায় করেছেন। আমি জিজ্ঞেস করি, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কিভাবে ক্বিরাআত করেছেন? তিনি কি নিঃশব্দে পড়তেন নাকি সশব্দে? তিনি বলেন, তিনি কখনো আস্তে এবং কখনো জোরে- উভয়ভাবেই পড়েছেন। তিনি কখনো গোসল করে ঘুমিয়েছেন এবং কখনো অযু করে ঘুমিয়েছেন। সহীহ : মুসলিম। ইমাম আবূ দাউদ (রহঃ) বলেন, কুতাইবাহ ছাড়া অন্যরা ‘স্ত্রী সহবাসের গোসল’ বলেছেন।
