Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I performed an action last night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What action was that? He said: There were some women with me at home, they said to me: You recite the Qur'an and we do not, so lead us in prayer. Thus, I led them in eight rak'ahs and witr. In response, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. They say: We considered the silence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a sign of his approval.

Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman bin Awf says: I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Ramadan. She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray more than eleven rak‘ahs in Ramadan or outside of Ramadan. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray four rak‘ahs, so do not ask about their beauty and length, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray four rak‘ahs, so do not ask about their beauty and length, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray three rak‘ahs. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you sleep before praying Witr? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! Indeed, my eyes sleep, but my heart does not sleep.

Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Mother! Tell me about the prayer of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: Whether it was Ramadan or other than Ramadan, the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be thirteen rak‘ahs, among which two rak‘ahs were the Sunnah of Fajr. I said: Tell me about the fasts of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast continuously until we would say that now he will always fast, but then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave off fasting (in succession) until we would say that now he will abandon fasting. And I did not see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fasting in any month as much as he fasted in Sha‘ban. Rather, it should be said that he fasted the whole of Sha‘ban, except for a few days.
