اخبرنا الحسن بن سفيان ، قال: حدثنا عبد الاعلى بن حماد ، قال: حدثنا وهيب ، عن برد ابي العلاء ، عن عبادة بن نسي ، عن غضيف بن الحارث ، قال: قلت لعائشة : ارايت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يا ام المؤمنين، اكان يوتر من اول الليل، او من آخره؟ قالت: " ربما اوتر من اول الليل، وربما اوتر من آخره" ، قلت: الله اكبر، الحمد لله الذي جعل في الامر سعة. قلت: يا ام المؤمنين، ارايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يغتسل من الجنابة من اول الليل، او من آخره؟ قالت: " ربما اغتسل من اول الليل، وربما اغتسل من آخره" ، قلت: الله اكبر، الحمد لله الذي جعل في الامر سعة. قلت: يا ام المؤمنين، ارايت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، اكان يجهر بصلاته ام يخافت بها؟ قالت: " ربما جهر بصلاته، وربما خافت بها" ، قلت: الله اكبر، الحمد لله الذي جعل في الامر سعة.
Ghudaif bin Harith narrates: I said to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): O Mother of the Believers, what do you say? Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform the Witr prayer in the early part of the night or in the last part of the night? Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: Sometimes he would perform Witr in the early part of the night and sometimes in the last part of the night. I said: Allahu Akbar, all praise is due to Allah alone, Who has provided flexibility in this matter. I asked: O Mother of the Believers! What do you say? Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform the ghusl of janabah in the early part of the night or in the last part of the night? Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: Sometimes he would perform ghusl in the early part of the night and sometimes in the last part of the night, so I said: Allahu Akbar, all praise is due to Allah alone, Who has provided flexibility in this matter. I asked: O Mother of the Believers! What do you say? Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite aloud in prayer or recite quietly? Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: Sometimes he would recite aloud and sometimes he would recite quietly. I said: Allahu Akbar! All praise is due to Allah alone, Who has provided flexibility in this matter.
