Yunus narrated to us, he said: Imran ibn Yazid al-‘Attar narrated to us, from Bahz ibn Hakim, from Zurara ibn Awfa, from Sa‘d ibn Hisham, he said: I said to the Mother of the Believers Aisha: How was the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, at night? She said: "He used to pray the ‘Isha prayer, then he mentioned the hadith, and he would pray two rak‘ahs standing, raising his voice as if he was waking us up, rather he would wake us up, then he would supplicate with a supplication that we could hear, then he would give the salutation, a salutation with which he would raise his voice."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah dislikes to meet him. And before meeting Allah, there is death.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had the best character among all people; he was neither indecent in action or speech, nor did he raise his voice in the markets, and he did not repay evil with evil, rather he would forgive and overlook.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I used to apply the best perfume I had to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is as if that scene is still before my eyes that I would see the shine of musk on the head of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in the state of Ihram. And I used to twist the collars of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) animal, that is, the goat, and even after sending it, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not prevent himself from being with any woman.

Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the voluntary prayers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so she said that in the night prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for a long time and sit for quite a while; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite, bow, and prostrate while standing, and he would also recite, bow, and prostrate while sitting.

Masruq says that once I was sitting reclining at the house of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), (I asked her, does Allah Almighty not say, "Indeed, the Messenger saw him at the clear horizon," and that, "The Messenger saw him another time as he descended"?), she replied, O Abu Aisha! I was the first to ask the Prophet (peace be upon him) about this, and he said that it refers to Hazrat Jibreel (Gabriel), whom I saw in his real form only twice. Once I saw him descending from the sky, and his great physical form filled the space between the sky and the earth.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that some women from Basra came to her, so she instructed them to perform istinja with water and said: "Order your husbands to do the same, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to perform istinja with water."

The details of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) bath are narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) as follows: The Prophet (peace be upon him) would first perform ablution as for prayer, then wash his private parts and feet, rub his hand on the wall and pour water over it, as if I can still see the mark of his hand on the wall.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not leave in his house any cloth on which there was a sign of a cross, until he would remove it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter his house at night, the first thing he would do was use the miswak, and when he would leave the house, the last thing he would do before leaving was to perform the two rak'ahs before Fajr.
