حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَالْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏
"The Prophet (S) would pray nine Rak'ah in the night."
Narrated by Aishah narrated:

Context

Aishah narrates that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would pray nine Rak'ah during the night. This practice illustrates the Prophet's dedication to voluntary prayers and serves as an example for Muslims to engage in night prayers, particularly during the last third of the night, which is a time of special mercy and forgiveness.

Modern Application

Incorporating voluntary prayers into one's nightly routine can be a source of spiritual upliftment. Muslims today can strive to establish a habit of praying at night, even if it's just a few Rak'ah, to enhance their connection with Allah.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer because it highlights the practice of performing voluntary prayers at night.
