Abu Salamah says that I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the prayer of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the month of Ramadan, so she replied that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not pray more than eleven rak'ahs in Ramadan or outside of Ramadan. First, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would pray four rak'ahs, and do not ask about their excellence and length, then he would pray another four rak'ahs, and do not ask about their excellence and length either, then he would pray three rak'ahs of witr. Once I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you sleep before praying witr?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep."
