حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، كَانَتْ تِلْكَ صَلاَتَهُ ـ تَعْنِي بِاللَّيْلِ ـ فَيَسْجُدُ السَّجْدَةَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، وَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ يَضْطَجِعُ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ لِلصَّلاَةِ.

Narrator: `A'isha

English translation
Narrated `A'isha: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray eleven rak`at at night and that was his night prayer and each of his prostrations lasted for a period enough for one of you to recite fifty verses before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) raised his head. He also used to pray two rak`at (Sunnah) before the (compulsory) Fajr prayer and then lie down on his right side till the Mu'adh-dhin came to him for the prayer
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এগার রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করতেন। এ ছিল তাঁর রাত্রিকালীন সালাত। এতে তিনি এমন দীর্ঘ সিজদা্ করতেন যে, তাঁর মাথা উঠাবার পূর্বে তোমাদের কেউ পঞ্চাশ আয়াত পড়তে পারে এবং ফজরের সালাতের পূর্বে তিনি আরো দু’ রাক‘আত পড়তেন। অতঃপর তিনি ডান কাতে শুয়ে বিশ্রাম করতেন, সালাতের জন্য মুআয্যিনের আসা পর্যন্ত। (৬২৬) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৯৩৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
