It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about "ghusl after menstruation." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take water and lote tree leaves and purify yourself thoroughly, then pour water over your head and rub well so that the water reaches the roots, then pour water again. Then take a piece of musk and purify yourself with it. She asked: How should a woman purify herself with it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Subhan Allah! Purify yourself with it. In fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant that she should remove the traces of blood with it. Then she asked about "ghusl after sexual impurity," so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take water and purify yourself thoroughly, and pour water over your head and rub well so that the water reaches the roots, then pour water again. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The women of the Ansar are very good; their shyness does not prevent them from understanding the religion.

Jami’ bin Umair, who belonged to Banu Taymullah bin Tha’labah, says that once I went to the house of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) with my mother and maternal aunt. One of them asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) what the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to do during ghusl (ritual bath)? She replied that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would first perform ablution as for prayer, then pour water over his head three times, and we, because of our braids, would pour water over our heads five times.

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, he would first use the miswak.

Abu Nofal says that I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) whether poetry was recited in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? She replied that it was the most disliked thing to the Prophet (peace be upon him).

And the Prophet (peace be upon him) liked comprehensive supplications, and he used to leave aside what was between them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast so continuously that we would say, "Now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will keep fasting continuously," and sometimes he would leave off fasting to the extent that we would say, "Now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will keep leaving off fasting." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite Surah Bani Isra'il and Surah Az-Zumar every night.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when two things were presented before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of them was easier, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would choose the easier one, unless it was a sin, because if it was a sin, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would keep away from it more than anyone else.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fast in any month of the year more than he did in Sha'ban; he would fast almost the entire month of Sha'ban, and he used to say: "Do as much as you are able to do, for Allah will not get tired, but you will surely get tired." And the most beloved prayer to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was that which was performed regularly, even if it was little in quantity. And whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed a prayer, he would make it a regular practice.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray thirteen rak'ahs at night: first eight rak'ahs, then witr, then he would sit and pray two rak'ahs, and when he wanted to go into ruku, he would stand up and then perform ruku. Then, between the adhan and the prayer of Fajr, he would pray two rak'ahs.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I began to imitate a man or a woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Even if I were to receive something greater in exchange for it, I would still not imitate anyone nor like it." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Safiyyah is so short," and with this, I gestured with my hand to indicate her shortness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have uttered such a word that if it were mixed with the water of the sea, it would change its color."
